The Pothook Unit of the Slater Creek Ranch is 2960 +/- acres of a classic high mountain river valley with high peaks surrounding the vast picturesque hay meadows. Slater Creek is a beautiful trout stream that meanders for over 4.5 miles through willow-banked meadows. There is a good mix of alpine meadows, pines, and aspen groves, as well as long oak brush and serviceberry ridges that drop down to the sagebrush benches above the river bottom. 

Land 

The approximately 325 acres of hay meadows produce hundreds of tons of quality hay and exceptional late-season grazing opportunities for cattle and wildlife alike. Located in the heart of the elk migration corridor, thousands of elk will pass through the ranch every fall as they move from the summer range to the east to the winter range west of Highway 13. Plenty of resident elk call the valleys and ridges of the ranch home as well.
Slater Creek Ranch has abundant senior water rights and shares the #1 right on all of Slater Creek. The creek also provides great fishing. Additionally, many ponds and springs on the ranch provide water at higher elevations for cattle grazing and the abundant elk, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope that call the ranch home.
Sharp-tail grouse, sage grouse, and dusky grouse reside on this very diverse property. There are two homes on the ranch.
Access to the ranch is well-maintained gravel road access, and it is a short 15-minute drive from the Dixon, Wyoming airport with 7000 and 6548 asphalt runways and jet fuel. The commercial service at Yampa Valley Regional Airport is approximately 1 hour from the ranch, with multiple commercial flights daily.

Recreation 

The ranch is currently collectively enrolled in the Ranching for Wildlife program with other ranches in the area. Under current management, the wildlife and habitat are managed for quality to produce better quality feed and habitat as well as older age class elk, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope. The program allows landowners to maximize their opportunity to utilize their property in exchange for public access on a limited basis. The ranches do yearly habitat projects such as brush and timber mitigation and water projects to enhance the availability of quality feed and water.
Colorado Ranching for Wildlife is a cooperative program with private landowners and Colorado Parks and Wildlife that includes incentives to improve habitat on private land. Landowners create diverse plant communities that benefit wildlife throughout the year by managing grazing systems, working on various habitat improvement projects, and developing viable water sources. These well-managed lands provide essential habitat for various species, including grassland-nesting birds, migratory ungulates such as elk, mule deer, and pronghorn, as well as any other wildlife within the ecosystem and pollinators. The program introduced in 1986 was designed to give public hunters access to private ranches. Still, in turn, a considerable benefit allows private landowners to dictate their season dates for optimal hunting opportunities. For landowners, the elk and pronghorn season is a 90-day season that coincides with any open public season. The Mule Deer season is a 60-day season. The RFW license is a weapon of choice license.
RFW is limited to ranches with at least 10,000 contiguous acres that contain a significant number of species for which licenses can be drawn. These species include elk, mule deer, and pronghorn on the Slater Creek Ranch.
In addition to hunting, that ranches have a great road system through out the property provides additional recreational opportunities that include hiking, mountain biking, UTV and snowmobiling.

Great Western Ranch and Land

Welcome to the Maybell Grazing and Big Game Ranch. The ranch spans just over 12,000-acres (5,899 deeded) of highly usable terrain that provides both excellent grazing and big game hunting opportunities. The topography of the ranch varies from a mixture of open valleys, tree and oak brush lined draws, rock outcroppings, mountain side slopes filled with Juniper and Cedar, and elevated plateaus providing views across the ranch and beyond. The high protein grasses and tree
cover provide optimal habitat for both seasonal grazing and area wildlife. The Yampa River flows through a small portion of the ranch near the northeast corner with Juniper Mountain serving as the northerly backdrop. While traversing the ranch, one will find the remnants of old homestead cabins, sheds and corrals. The elevation of the ranch varies by about 1,000 feet from the valley floor to upper benches. The ranch falls within Colorado GMU 211, which is known for solid success rates. The ranch is eligible for several deer and antelope vouchers annually. Archery and rifle seasons Elk tags are available over-the-counter while muzzleloader tags are limited draw. Wildlife are often sighted daily within the ranch boundaries and the property has been professionally guided by Big Rack Outfitters for over 30-years with consistent harvest numbers.

Northwest Colorado has long been regarded as one of the preeminent trophy big game and sporting regions in Colorado. This 2,431 deeded acre +/- ranch is owned by Watson Ranches LLLP and has been in the same ownership since 1957. Located approximately 16.5 miles northwest of Meeker along the Rio Blanco/Moffat County line with good year round access off of paved county road 7, while a portion of the property offers end of the road seclusion with direct access to adjacent Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands. Two large privately owned ranches border the ranch, both of which are known for well managed and cooperative hunting practices. The combination of large adjoining ownerships and access to protected adjacent BLM lands enhances the seclusion, making Moonshine Spring Ranch a true big game hunting gold mine.

ACREAGE
The diverse terrain and topography contribute to the panoramic mountain views in addition to a variety of vegetative cover. Gently sloping meadows give way to rolling brush covered hillsides and steeper slopes associated with mixed timber and rock outcroppings. Long valleys with native grass meadows are flanked by higher ridges which include some aspen tree covered northen facing hillsides and pockets of transitional oak brush groves. This topography and vegetation provide excellent habitat complimented by the ranchs water resources. Spread throughout the property are spring fed ponds, spring fed water trough, along with an underground pipeline system delivering water to three water tanks. As a result Moonshine Spring Ranch offers a trifecta of good cover, feed and water resources that attract and hold big game. A well developed interior road network makes on-site access and touring a breeze. Improvements are minimal, allowing the new owner a unique opportunity to expand on their terms.

LOCATION
Located in Colorado Game Management Unit (GMU) 211, this ranch is situated in the Danforth Hills area strategically near the transition between summer and winter concentration areas for elk. GMU 211 has over-the-counter tags for elk during archery and two of the four rifle seasons. Landowner applications enhance the odds of drawing tags for Mule Deer, which the ranch has participated in each year. Current ownership has done an excellent job of managing for both livestock and hunting, and recent years have seen limited grazing pressure on feed resources. The ranch is located within 30 minutes from Meeker, Colorado; where you can find grocery shopping, dining, medical services and the Rio Blanco County airport.

- Over 3,000 deeded acres
- Elk, mule deer, antelope, bear, & mountain lion

Those who know elk hunting like the backs of their hands have little dispute with Craig, Colorados claim as the Elk Hunting Capital of the World. Northwest Colorado in general is elk paradise, with good water, unspoiled habitat, moderate elevations and hundreds of square miles of virtually unpopulated country. In the heart of this unspoiled territory lies Trapper Divide Ranch, with over 3000 nicely-blocked acres of prime elk country, and only five miles from Craig itself. As a family or hunting retreat, Trapper Divide Ranch is good to go for a wildlife experience to equal any in the West.

On the western edge of the Williams Fork Mountains, the Trapper Divide Ranch is nestled among rolling hills from approximately 6800 to 7900 feet, which is ideal for growing stands of oak brush and aspen, which occur throughout the property. Sagebrush and grasses grow where the oak brush does not, and this mix is perfect for large herds of elk and mule deer year-round. Elk tags are available over the counter, and the ranch qualifies for landowner deer tags. Mountain lion, pronghorn, and black bear are also frequently seen on the ranch. Rifle, archery and black powder hunters will be equally delighted with the big game opportunities here.

Water resources in Northwest Colorado are as cherished as a reliable .30-06, and Trapper Divide Ranch is blessed with springs, small reservoirs, and seasonal creeks distributed among several major drainages. The largest reservoir is approximately three acres in size, and can be deepened to support trout, which could grow to lunker size in a few seasons.

A 2700 square foot lodge is located on a ridge with outstanding views, and includes a soaring great room and fireplace. It can serve either as a large family home or a lodge capable of supporting large hunting parties. An historic barn with corrals makes the ranch serviceable as a small seasonal livestock operation as well.

Trapper Divide Ranch is currently operational as a hunting and seasonal livestock ranch. In the longer range, it has potential as a conservation easement property, perhaps coupled with additional resource-friendly development. On the other hand, maintaining it as-is as a family retreat and investment property remains a simple and attractive option.

Proximity to Craig, the Moffat County seat, is a real plus for the Trapper Divide Ranch. Craig is only a few miles away on good County roads, and as a small city of 10,000 persons, provides shopping, dining, and all services, including a hospital and municipal airport. For even more cultural amenities and downhill skiing, Steamboat Springs is less than an hour distant via US Highway 40.

Indeed, the Elk Hunting Capital of Colorado is an alluring title. Those who love elk and other wildlife, and who just generally appreciate the unspoiled West should find Trapper Divide Ranch alluring too, and could easily find a reason to put down roots in the Capital themselves

High densities of elk populate the lower and higher elevations of the unit and trophy elk taken throughout the varying elevation zones. The offered acreage qualifies for eight landowner preference applications per year for elk, mule deer, and pronghorn. The seller is also willing to provide ownership with a guaranteed bull elk voucher each year in exchange for the ability to retain grazing rights on the offered deeded lands and surrounding leased BLM lands. The mule deer and pronghorn hunting is also noteworthy with trophy-caliber animals taken on the ranch and throughout the unit. 

The deeded and leased lands have been long utilized for summer pasture. Portions of the deeded lands are also utilized as winter range, during mild winters. The Seller would prefer to lease back the grazing rights for an extended period of time but will aid in the transfer of the appropriate BLM grazing allotment with the sale of the deeded base properties. Please contact the listing broker for more information regarding the associated BLM allotment.  

All Seller-owned appurtenant water rights will convey to new ownership. Water rights consist of adjudicated springs. There is no irrigated ground or hay production on the property. The Seller does not believe they own any appurtenant mineral rights but will convey any owned.

- Over 3,000 deeded acres- Elk, mule deer, antelope, bear, & mountain lion- Over the counter elk tags & landowner deer tags- Several springs, seasonal creeks, ponds, & three acre lake- 2,700 sq. ft. log lodge, historic barn, & corral- Six miles from Craig, ColoradoThose who know elk hunting like the backs of their hands have little dispute with Craig, Colorado's claim as the "Elk Hunting Capital of the World." Northwest Colorado in general is elk paradise, with good water, unspoiled habitat, moderate elevations and hundreds of square miles of virtually unpopulated country. In the heart of this unspoiled territory lies Trapper Divide Ranch, with over 3000 nicely-blocked acres of prime elk country, and only five miles from Craig itself. As a family or hunting retreat, Trapper Divide Ranch is "good to go" for a wildlife experience to equal any in the West.On the western edge of the Williams Fork Mountains, the Trapper Divide Ranch is nestled among rolling hills from approximately 6800 to 7900 feet, which is ideal for growing stands of oak brush and aspen, which occur throughout the property. Sagebrush and grasses grow where the oak brush does not, and this mix is perfect for large herds of elk and mule deer year-round. Elk tags are available over the counter, and the ranch qualifies for landowner deer tags. Mountain lion, pronghorn, and black bear are also frequently seen on the ranch. Rifle, archery and black powder hunters will be equally delighted with the big game opportunities here.Water resources in Northwest Colorado are as cherished as a reliable .30-06, and Trapper Divide Ranch is blessed with springs, small reservoirs, and seasonal creeks distributed among several major drainages. The largest reservoir is approximately three acres in size, and can be deepened to support trout, which could grow to lunker size in a few seasons.A 2700 square foot lodge is located on a ridge with outstanding views, and includes a soaring great room and fireplace. It can serve either as a large family home or a lodge capable of supporting large hunting parties. An historic barn with corrals makes the ranch serviceable as a small seasonal livestock operation as well.Trapper Divide Ranch is currently operational as a hunting and seasonal livestock ranch. In the longer range, it has potential as a conservation easement property, perhaps coupled with additional resource-friendly development. On the other hand, maintaining it as-is as a family retreat and investment property remains a simple and attractive option.Proximity to Craig, the Moffat County seat, is a real plus for the Trapper Divide Ranch. Craig is only a few miles away on good County roads, and as a small city of 10,000 persons, provides shopping, dining, and all services, including a hospital and municipal airport. For even more cultural amenities and downhill skiing, Steamboat Springs is less than an hour distant via US Highway 40.Indeed, the "Elk Hunting Capital of Colorado" is an alluring title. Those who love elk and other wildlife, and who just generally appreciate the unspoiled West should find Trapper Divide Ranch alluring too, and could easily find a reason to put down roots in the "Capital" themselves

Overview -
Consisting of 108,277 total acres (21,034 deeded acres), Three Springs Ranch is a historic cattle and big game hunting ranch notable for its large size, as well as its unique combination of multiple allocated hunting tags in a trophy unit where tags are difficult to draw.  A common dilemma for hunting ranch buyers is whether to focus on areas with plentiful tags but few mature animals, or go for a trophy unit that has quality bulls and bucks, but limited hunting opportunities, even for landowners.  Fortunately, Three Springs Ranch offers the best of both  a high-quality unit with a private tag allocation achieved through Colorados Ranching for Wildlife program.  The result is a unique ranch with exceptional big game hunting complemented by a well-run livestock program and attractive western landscape. Additional features of the ranch include adjacency to the Dinosaur National Monument; accredited source of the popular Allosaurus skeletal mount at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science; a televised Bill Moyers Journal documentary featuring the Ranch; and Native American petroglyphs.

Location -
Three Springs Ranch is located in Northwest Colorado along US Highway 40, midway between Vernal, Utah and Craig, Colorado.  The ranch features year-round access on county-maintained roads.  It is roughly an hour from ranch headquarters to Vernal, Craig, or Rangely, and two hours to the ski resort town of Steamboat Springs.  The population of Vernal is 10,277, Craig is 9,217, Rangely is 2,285, and Dinosaur is 223.  The two closest commercial airports are in Vernal and Hayden (90 minutes). 

The Land -
The ranch stretches 18 miles from its northern boundary with Dinosaur National Monument to the White River Valley to the south.  Along the way, it encompasses rolling and mountainous terrain within the Wolf Creek and Bear Valleys, as well as numerous side draws.  The deeded lands range in elevation from 5,600 to 8,100 feet and are characterized by a variety of valleys, ridges, canyons, rock outcrops, meadows, and flats.  Vegetation consists primarily of grass, sage, mountain shrub, pinon, and juniper, with some localized aspen trees.  The ranch benefits from a variety of water sources including Wolf Creek, springs, reservoirs, stock ponds, and wells (both domestic and livestock).

Big Game Hunting -
In additional to the unique character of the land, one of the most appealing aspects of Three Springs Ranch is its trophy big game hunting.  The ranch is located in GMU 10, one of four units in the northwest corner of the state that is managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife for quality status.  Bulls over 300 inches are common, and many mature to the 350 to 400 inch range.  To achieve this standard, the state is very restrictive with tags and hunting pressure is dramatically reduced.  Many years of preference points are required to draw a bull or buck tag.  For example, 2022 bull elk tags for GMU 10 were drawn at 22 to 30 preference points.  Despite the high number of points required, there is high demand for GMU 10 tags because they offer the potential to reward the hunter with a once-in-a-lifetime bull.

With the aim of increasing the number of tags available to the ranch beyond what is available through the draw, Three Springs has been a long-time participant of Colorados Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) cooperative management program.  This has historically entitled the ranch to three private bull tags annually.  In exchange, the ranch has made habitat improvements to the land and allows a limited number of public hunters to have guided access to the ranch during select times.  As a result of the blend of summer and winter range habitats and lack of pressure in the area, the local elk herd does not tend to migrate and many hundreds of elk are found on the ranch in the fall.  With a bull-to-cow ratio of 40 to 100, there are plenty of opportunities for trophy-caliber elk.  In addition to the Ranching for Wildlife private tags, Three Springs qualifies for seven landowner vouchers to participate in the landowner draw for the ranch acreage that is not enrolled in the RFW program.  Although elk are the featured species, GMU 10 is also an excellent unit for mule deer.  Three Springs historically has been allocated one private buck tag and allows one public buck hunter.  Bucks in the 160-180+ inch range are typical every year.  

Operation and Improvements -
The ranch supports a year-round cattle operation running 400 to 600 head.  In addition to the deeded lands, the ranch holds grazing permits on adjacent BLM and State of Colorado lands.  Total AUMs on the BLM and State leased lands is 7,423 (consisting of 6,897 Active AUMs on the BLM permit plus 526 AUMs on the State Ag Leases).  Functional improvements consist of two owners homes, a hunting cabin, a managers home, and an employee house, plus a shop and all the requisite agricultural improvements.
