Hunting in Colorado is experiencing added benefits, thanks to a program knows as Ranching for Life. This program, in cooperation with the DOW, enables landowners in Colorado to improve habitat on their
Colorado Ranch Land for non-game and game animals as well as provide free access to hunters who draw licenses. The program will help preserve and enhance open spaces to wildlife and keep open the heritage of hunting in Colorado into the future. There are currently 23 ranches enrolled in the program and over 1 million acres of public access provided, with over 20,000 acres per year having active wildlife habitat improvements. The number of licenses on each ranch is determined by both the landowner and the division, and licenses for these ranches may only be used on the specific ranch. Out of state and Colorado Hunters are cautioned that although preference points needed to draw a license for specific ranches maybe be high, it doesn’t guarantee large numbers, but may simply mean that ranch is offering a high quality hunting experience.
