Ranching for Wildlife Program Updated:08/2022

The program provides Colorado residents a unique opportunity to hunt on private ranch land normally closed to the public. Participating ranches provide public hunting recreation access to their land free of charge to those who draw licenses.

Public licenses on each ranch are available through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife's (CPW) draw process. The number of licenses on each ranch is determined by negotiations between the landowner and CPW.

Through this program, hunters can play an important role in helping CPW and landowners manage wildlife populations on private land. In addition to providing public hunting access to successful applicants, participating landowners are required to improve habitat on their ranch for both game and non-game animals. These efforts help preserve and enhance open spaces for wildlife to live and thrive and?? keep the hunting heritage alive for you and future generations.
