BUFFALO HORN RANCH
Ranch Hunting Rules

1. The ranch will be divided into six hunting areas. Each area will have access through a designated gate. A maximum number of hunters will be allowed in each hunting area.
2. Hunters must check in and out at the ranch lodge one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset of each hunting day. Please check in and out with the designated Buffalo Horn Ranch person on duty.
3. Buffalo Horn Ranch makes available to its public hunters game retrieval by BHR staff for a minimum of $50.00.
4. Motorized vehicles are not allowed access on the property except in the case of game retrieval. This limits the movement of game as much as possible. As proven in the past, your hunting success will most likely be higher if everyone respects this rule. All vehicles should be parked at the designated gate or area where you will be hunting. A BHR parking permit (issued at check in) must be visibly displayed on your vehicle dashboard. Methods of access from vehicle parking areas include horseback and walking. The layout of the ranch readily allows for this type of access as it is long and relatively narrow.
5. Please do not bring your dog, as dogs are not allowed in the hunting areas.
6. Each licensed hunter is allowed to carry one gun while hunting on the Ranch.
7. Licensed hunters may bring one non-hunting companion while on the Ranch. The non-hunting companion must remain the same during the length of your hunt and may not hold a valid regular deer or elk hunting license for the same time frame as your hunt.
8. All areas surrounding dwellings and livestock handling facilities will be closed to hunting for the safety of residents and agricultural lessees and livestock.
9. We cannot accommodate overnight camping on the ranch. Camping and motels are available in/near Meeker.
10. Please do not start fires or litter on the ranch.
11. Hunters and companions must sign a liability release form prior to hunting.
12. After you have harvested your animal and are checking out, please fill out the questionnaire that will be provided to you at that time.  This helps us to continually provide better service to our public guests.
