Colorado Whitetail: Private Land, Prime Hunts

Ready to chase some big bucks on prime Colorado real estate? J&B Outfitters has you covered with our 5-day guided whitetail hunt on exclusive private land. No need to mess with drawing tags or navigating public spots - we've got landowner vouchers that let you skip the line and get right to the action. Our seasoned guides know these properties like the back of their hand and will put you on the deer. With comfy lodging and transportation taken care of, all you need to focus on is making that perfect shot when a trophy whitetail steps out.

Inside the Hunt

This ain't your average deer camp. We're talking prime private ground that sees limited pressure, giving those bucks a chance to grow some serious headgear. Our guides scout year-round to pattern the deer and know exactly where to set up. We'll get you dialed in on food plots, funnels, and bedding areas where the big boys like to hang out. Expect long sits in comfortable blinds and stands, plus some spot-and-stalk action when conditions are right. With five full days to hunt, you'll have plenty of chances to connect on the buck of a lifetime.

Back at camp, kick back in our cozy lodge with hot showers and home-cooked meals. Swap stories around the fire pit and get ready to do it all again tomorrow. This is as close to a "guaranteed" whitetail hunt as you can get - these properties are managed for trophy bucks and hold some real giants.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Colorado offers some unique whitetail habitat compared to what many Eastern hunters are used to. We're talking a mix of agricultural fields, oak draws, and pine-covered ridges. The deer here often bed high and feed low, so learning to glass effectively is key. Our guides will teach you how to pick apart the landscape and spot those gray ghosts slipping through the trees.

Expect to do some hiking to access the best spots, but nothing too extreme. Good boots and layers are a must - Colorado weather can change on a dime. We'll set you up with top-notch optics to help you judge those bucks before you pull the trigger. Shots can range from 50 to 300 yards, so be prepared for both close encounters and longer pokes across open areas.

We primarily use treestands and ground blinds, strategically placed near major travel corridors and food sources. But if conditions are right, we may do some spot-and-stalk hunting, especially in the mornings and evenings when deer are on their feet. Our guides are masters at calling and rattling, so don't be surprised if we bring a buck right into your lap!

Target Game Breakdown

Colorado whitetails are a different breed from their Eastern cousins. These deer have adapted to the rugged mountain terrain and harsh winters, resulting in some truly impressive specimens. Mature bucks in our area can easily push 250 pounds on the hoof, with antlers stretching into the 150-160 class B&C range. While not as numerous as mule deer, the quality of whitetails here is outstanding.

The rut typically kicks off in early November, with peak breeding around mid-month. This is when those big boys let their guard down and cover some serious ground looking for does. We time our hunts to coincide with this magical period when your chances of encountering a trophy buck are highest.

Colorado whitetails are known for their impressive rack width and tall tines. It's not uncommon to see bucks sporting spreads over 20 inches wide, with some real bruisers pushing 24 inches or more. The genetics here favor heavy mass throughout the antlers, giving these deer a look that's distinctly "Western."

While the peak of the rut is prime time, don't overlook the early season when bucks are still in their summer patterns. This can be an excellent time to pattern a big boy hitting a specific food source. Late season hunts also have their charm, as the post-rut bucks are desperate to pack on calories before winter hits.
