Welcome to the historic Coyte Ranch at Spicer Ranches.
This family owned cattle ranch has been operating for 5 generations. Located 21 miles southwest of Walden, the ranch is comprised of nearly 4200 acres of private land surrounded by nearly 5000 acres of State Trust and BLM land. The ranch sits at an elevation of about 7500 ft and is made up of a mixture of aspens, pine, sagebrush, willows and hay meadows. It is prime habitat and excellent hunting for elk, mule deer and antelope.
Join us at the Coyte for an excellent opportunity to harvest a fine Colorado elk or trophy mule deer!
The Coyte Ranch has high success for bull and cow elk. There is a resident heard that lives on the ranch, as well as huge groups of elk that move around the adjoining lands and frequent the Coyte. The ranch has 3 major drainages, each with plenty of room to spread out hunters. Traditionally this ranch has hosted up to 20 hunters per week but beginning in 2021 we are reducing that number to no more than 12-15 hunters per week during rifle and no more than 8 for archery. (larger groups can be accommodated by request). We are working to create the best hunting opportunity for all our guest.
Mule deer hunts are available by request only. Contact us for your chance to harvest your 180+ Mulie.
To compliment the private land the adjoining trust land is open to the public for hunting. It can give our hunters additional space, as well the public land hunters help push game onto our ranch. It usually works out as a win for all.
ATV’s and UTV’s may be used for travel from camp to the parking areas. They are not allowed beyond the parking areas except to pick up downed game, the only exception to this rule is for staff. Maps are supplied upon arrival. Please keep UTV/ATVs on designated roads.
There are usually two staff members available at all times on the ranch, they are not guiding but are there to help get you introduced to the ranch, orientation and to help haul out your harvest. While it is their job to help haul it out you are expected to help as well, they will only go as far as they can in and ATV/UTV, if animals are harvested in a rough area you may need to pack/drag it to where they can get it. This is rare, and most animals can be reached by machine, just something to keep in mind before you pull the trigger. We cannot assist clients in anyway off the ranch, we can only help on our private land.
The Coyte Ranch is located in Game Unit 16. Most tags are over the counter, but some seasons require a draw. Preference points are usually not needed and many times there are leftover tag options. Consult with us or Colorado Division of Wildlife for more info.
