Why Hunt at C Lazy U Ranch?

C Lazy U Outfitters offers inclusive big game hunting trips for elk, mule deer and pronghorn antelope in Colorado, with archery, muzzle loader and rifle hunts from September through November. Our guided hunting trips are led by experienced guides in a fair-chase environment on predominately private land, with some public land on the property boundaries.

Bring home a trophy mule deer, thanks to C Lazy U's substantial resident herd and the migratory route that bisects the property, which brings in those elusive monster bucks.

We look forward to welcoming you to the ranch for your once-in-a-lifetime guided hunting trip in Colorado.

Elk

The signature C Lazy U hunt is one of our premier guided elk hunts, thanks to Colorado's large elk population. Because we are located just 10 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park, we have some of the largest migrating elk herds crossing our 16,000 acres—and when elk hunting in Colorado at C Lazy U, you'll see bulls ranging from 200” to 300” in size! Our world-class hunting guides can accommodate all hunter needs and styles, guiding archery, muzzle loader and rifle elk hunting trips.

Combo Elk & Mule Deer

The C Lazy U Ranch is one of the best mule deer habitats in Colorado: year after year, we see trophy mule deer roll in for the rut. While on Colorado mule deer hunts at C Lazy U Ranch, you will see mule deer ranging in size from 150” to 190” — and even larger. To maintain a quality deer population, we offer approximately eight rifle guided deer hunts each year.

Pronghorn Antelope

Similar to our elk and mule deer herds, we have several pronghorn antelope that summer on the sage flats of the C Lazy U Ranch. We accommodate 1-3 hunters per year depending on interest and successful landowner tag applications. Our fully guided hunts are designed around 3 days in early October. Please call for more information on this hunt.
