About this raffle

2026 Summer Hunt Raffle


Muzzle Buddy Bull Hunt
$25

This Muzzle season opportunity offers a thrilling buddy hunt in the Backcountry Wilderness Area of Highlands Ranch, widely regarded as one of the premier elk hunting experiences in Colorado during the September rut.

During this time, elk activity is intense and fast-paced—bulls are vocal, actively tending cows, and frequently on their feet. The Backcountry consistently holds world-class bulls, and during the rut the action simply does not get much better.


The raffle winner and a chosen hunting partner will each receive the opportunity to hunt elk during the Muzzle Season, with two distinct hunt opportunities:


Bull Hunt – “Selective”

The primary hunter will participate in a “Selective Bull Hunt.”

Selective Bull Hunt:   A trophy bull is eligible for harvest, but select mature bulls are not eligible for harvest, along with immature bulls.  We’re looking for a trophy, mature bull!


Bull Hunt -Management (Buddy):

 The second hunter (“buddy”) will have the opportunity to harvest a management bull.  Large bulls or bulls with significant future potential are not eligible for harvest.   This hunt is focused on herd management and meat harvest rather than antler quality.


Both hunters hunt together with their guide during the muzzle season in September. See our website for specific dates.
