Unguided Wilderness Cabin Hunts

We are offering unguided deer and elk hunts for all seasons (except the 4th rifle season) from the cabin, which is on private land. The Cabin is located at the end of the road on Robinson Creek; it is surrounded by the West Elk Wilderness and the Gunnison National Forest. Here you will find no roads for the road hunters and no 4 wheelers or other mechanized or motorized vehicles.

From almost the minute you step out of the cabin door you are in hunting country. This is some of Colorado's better big game country, partly because it is Wilderness and partly because of the varied terrain, which ranges from fairly gentle to very rugged. The cabin sets at approximately 7600 feet elevation and you can hunt up to around 9,500 feet elevation. The vegetation varies from scrub oak brush to aspen forests, open meadows and dark timber.
This will be the 2nd year to offer unguided hunts from the cabin. We have hunted and guided in the area for many years and our hunters have bagged many deer and elk within walking distance of the cabin.

Request our brochure and map so that you can see the location and area you will be hunting and the type and class of accommodations the cabin offers.

All food is furnished and prepared by one of our cooks. You will be well fed! Pack animals will be available for packing your game out of the woods.

The hunt will be managed by Dellis and Linda Ferrier or an employee of Bar Diamond Ranch / Ferrier Outfitters; Outfitter Registration #315. We are Insured and Bonded. All activities conducted in the Wilderness or National Forest are covered by our U.S.D.A. Forrest Service Permits.
We are offering guided hunts for all the seasons, except the 4th Rifle season in November. We will be packing into and hunting the Cliff Creek, Soap Creek Basin and Elk Basin areas located in the West Elk Wilderness. We hunt game management units 53 and 54.

For all hunts, you will need to bring a variety of warm clothing, warm waterproof footwear plus a change of footwear, gloves, a good two-piece rainsuit, knife, hatchet, small nylon rope, gun and ammo, or bow and arrows, good warm sleeping bag, binoculars, camera, film, towels, washcloths, chapstick, sun screen, and of course proper license or licenses. Game bags and black pepper are good to have especially for archery and muzzleloader seasons. We do not pack hard gun cases, duffel bags longer than 30" or more than 48" in circumference, or excess liquor.

If you plan to drive to our pack station, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is a good idea. If you plan to fly, several rental companies have vehicles to rent at the Montrose or Grand Junction airports.
