CO hunting clubs?

[rondog]

Anybody here a member of any hunting clubs in Colorado? Or have any experience/knowledge of any?

I need places to hunt before I croak, and joining a club for properties access seems like a reasonable solution. Looking for reviews and recommendations please. Fishing would be a bonus too.

I don't know any, but it sounds like a great idea to me, too.

What kind of clubs are you looking for? I am a member of a waterfowl hunting club - geared towards goose.

I would also be interested to hear from someone who is in a club geared towards other game.

Good point - deer and elk hunting.

I used to be a memeber to High Plains Sportsman club. They lock up thousands of acres all across the state and in neighboring states as well. They get everything from goose, duck, deer, elk and fishing ground leased up. You usually have to reserv a piece of ground months in advance but I took a few antelope and shot a lot of pheasant on their properties. Some of the parcels are smaller but they provide access to public ground that might be other wise hard to get to. I last renewed back in 2012 and I think the annual dues were somewhere around $750. I know the dues have went up but whatever the rate is when you join is the rate you pay as long as you continue to renew each year.

I don't know much about hunting clubs themselves, but High Plains sportsman's club has some amazing ranches down here tied up. Going to the wildlife areas, we have to drive through those properties, and they are usually loaded with deer and elk.

Nice, nice, thank you! Keep those cards and letters coming folks!

Zombie thread, but wondering if anyone has any additional input on this or recent experiences they can speak to.

If you are looking for fishing, there is a place out near Weldona called Tomky fish farms that is a nice set up. Not a member but have taken the kids on free fishing day and it seems really nice.

If you are looking for waterfowl, I would have to see if there are any open spots, I think it is a 4 man group, little pricey but some of the best access you will find anywhere on the front range. PM me if interested and I’ll talk to my friend to see if they are looking for another group.

Back in the 80's, Bruce's Bar in Severance would lease you a shooting blind for geese.
We would show up at 4:30 a.m., have a great breakfast, and then you would be assigned your blind.
He gave you directions and checked up later in the morning.
Give them a call and see if they still are doing that at 970-686-2320
Also, their claim to fame is the Rocky Mountain Oysters.

I might have to tell my wife about Tomky--she is really into lip rippin'. I'm mostly a upland and big game guy. I've been curious to try waterfowl but not ready to commit to something like that. Thanks for mentioning it, though.

I was in Bruce's for lunch yesterday they do not do this anymore that I am aware of. The land in that area is tied up by many guide services, one of the best is the guys from Last Pass they have lots of lands and can call the ducks and geese very well. Jim had this area tied up tight for years but after shooting at people, well a few felonies latter you lose all your rights to do much of anything with a gun.

I'm not in the market now. Suffering some nasty nerve damage from a spinal injury last year, I'm lucky I can still walk - for now. May never hunt again.
