Randy grew up hunting with his dad and grandpa from the time he could walk. When Randy's dad started High Desert Ranch & Outfitting in 2012, he started guiding hunters at the young age of 13.
Cheyenne also grew up hunting with her dad and grandad from the time she was born and started leading the way and calling for her dad's hunting buddies at the age of 8.
Fast forward to 2018, Randy's dad hired Cheyenne and her dad to guide for him. Randy & Cheyenne met and ultimately fell in love with each other while guiding. They then went on to get married, have two beautiful children, and take over High Desert Ranch & Outfitting LLC.
Our vision is to raise our kids the same way we were raised. Generational ranches and hunting outfits are becoming scarce. We strive to preserve our heritage and pass it on for generations to come. Our kids love meeting all of our clients as we welcome them to the ranch that we are fortunate to call our home. We raise our kids to be respectful and courteous of our guests. All year long our kids are learning how to be the best steward of the land and studying the beautiful wildlife that call it home.
We have three generations of experience at our ranch, this is made possible by our kids being in camp and learning from a young age. Every single success photo below is a result of the generation before us raising us this exact same way. If you want a guide with experience beyond their years, this is how its achieved.
To be very clear, our kids are an active part of our hunting camp and this is a non- negotiable for us. If you want a "good ole boy" hunting camp, we are not the right fit for you.
High Desert Ranch's private land consists of 3,000 acres in GMU 441 and 7,400 acres in GMU 13. We also have BLM permits to guide in Colorado's premier units for elk, mule deer, antelope, and mountain lion.
Our ranch is family owned and operated. Our family does everything together and we love to see our guests do the same. We strongly promote getting women and youth into hunting. Starting the next generation in the outdoors is the most rewarding experience of one's life. See our specials as we always offer huge discounts for women and youth.
When you pay to hunt private land, we want you to feel like you are on private land. We limit the number of hunters we take per season and implement resting periods between hunts. This management practice prevents over hunting, which makes a better memorable hunt for all our hunters.
