Colorado GMU 42 elk hunting property for sale

This is a terrific hunting property at Battlement Mesa, on the Western Slope of Colorado in GMU 42. This 785-acre parcel is bounded by BLM lands on the south and the Colorado River on the west. It is a favorite habitat for large herds of elk. This property is part of the very large Battlement Mesa PUD and is classified as residential development land, which gives it excellent potential for a conservation easement, given that it provides such excellent wildlife habitat. There is an excellent 4-lane paved street providing access to the property, so access is very easy. There are three excellent shooting blinds on the property, and access is very easy for disabled or elderly hunters. Many youth hunters have taken their first elk or deer on this land, and success rates are very high--over 90%. The property has a wide variety of terrain, ranging from open meadows to a long gulley, to stands of dense pinyon-juniper forest that the elk favor for a bedding area.

Elk hunting land for sale borders BLM lands--high success rate

This Colorado hunting land for sale borders public BLM lands to the east. The Battlement Mesa towers above the property, and the surrounding public lands are known for large herds of elk. When hunters start accessing these public lands, the elk herd migrates onto these private lands, where they tend to stay for a long time. There are often herds of 300 head or more on the property, and hunting is excellent for branch-antlered bulls and cows. Many hunters have taken their first elk on this property, which can yield 10-15 elk a year. It is very easy to remove downed elk with a tractor or other vehicle, making packing out and processing very simple.
