Hunting
Hunting is in unit 56 right on and around the 160 acres and near Hancock/St. Elmo
Heckler junction all have elk, deer, bear, turkey, antelope, and big horn sheep and
cougar abounding.
Owners have drawn tags every year and usually get 4 elk, 4 deer, a bear and turkey,
and antelope (preference points).
The tags are generally filled each year as well, with many trophy elk and deer and
antelope, the animals have been taken right on the 160 acres or within a mile or 2 of
the house so hunting is phenomenal.
There is a roadless area of 64,000 acres lying to the south of the property that
because of the terrain, is basically, used only by the owners at Antero Mountain
Ranch.
The elk herds migrate from this area and Raspberry mountain into the National
forest below, through the 160 acre property.
Because of the elevation of Antero Mountain and ranch the terrain, there are many
viewing vantage points where one can sit and scan the whole area below to
spot/scout out the herds of animals and then hunt from there.

5. Roads below allow ATVs and trucks for hunting there as well.
The owners have rarely if any time seen a hunter behind their property, because
most do not want to walk to get to the great hunting.
There is a herd of over 200 elk that winter in the pasture/hay fields below Antero
plus the antelope hang out in the BLM below the property and in the national forest.

10. THE HISTORY
John and Charles Eddy bought the property, now known as Antero Mountain Ranch,
in 1887 from John Pledger, who originally homesteaded the property in 1886. The
brothers would bring cattle from their ranch in New Mexico (Eddy County, New
Mexico is named for them) north to Colorado to sell to the miners and move what
was left of the herd to another ranch they owned in South Park, Colorado. The Eddy
Brothers original cabin continues to weather time and may be found about a quarter
mile off the property line.
