Our Rico Camp in unit 71 is located in San Juan National Forest and is our rugged backcountry public land camp. We mainly offer fully guided hunts from this camp but also offer DIY camps in the Lizard Head Wilderness area. This is the perfect area for the backcountry hunters who want more out of their hunt. This is a wall tent camp setup, and we hunt on foot mostly but have the option of horses if needed. This unit is draw for most elk hunts and all mule deer hunts but it fairly easy to draw. This camp is operated under special use permit with the San Juan National Forest. These hunts are physically demanding but fun.

We are privileged to hunt 3000 acres of private property, and we target bucks in the 140" to 170" range with bigger possible. These hunts are low pressure with a very high success rate. These hunts are super fun and you will see a lot of deer. They are for clients of all ages and physicality. We can offer accommodations or clients can stay in town and just hunt with us.
