Collbran Colorado

Cowboys and rodeos have been around Collbran Colorado for as long as it has existed, and for many 
years, ranching was the primary industry. Ranching in the past consisted primarily of raising cows, 
sheep, pigs, horses, and the hay to feed them! Although some of these family ranching operations 
continue, many ranchers have had to section and sell their land to survive. Some of the new 
landowners have continued the ranching tradition, though. The valley is home to elk, llama and goat 
ranches too now. Our history and heritage blend with the present and become quite apparent every 
April and October when herds of cows and sheep are still driven by cowboys on horses (or ATVs) to 
and from the summer pastures.

Colorado Hunting

Hunting in Colorado often feels boundless, with public lands that include 23 million acres of 
pristine pines, plentiful pocket meadows and pure- water  ponds,  so  it’s  no  wonder  Colorado  
hosts  the  world’s  largest  elk  herd  and  the  best  chance  at  hunting,  or  simply  viewing, 
 these  majestic animals in motion. Mule deer in the mountains, whitetail on the plains or the 
legendary elk of the Rockies — these are only some of many species that call Colorado home. Go 
primitive with a longbow, stay modern with a centerfire rifle or split the difference with 
muzzle-loading. Colorado is accommodating to most types and styles of take as long as you have that 
handy hunter education card (from Colorado or your home state). It’s hard to resist hunting among 
golden aspen leaves in early season bow and muzzle loading seasons, but cool weather and snow often

help in a successful hunt. Big-game seasons run from August through January.
