Sandy Hills Hunting Company

Sandy Hills Hunting Company has been running hunts since 2015, operating out of Southern Colorado with access to private properties across the region. Owner Jeremy and his team focus on serious hunters looking for trophy-class animals—not casual outings.

Their elk hunts consistently produce 300+ Boone & Crockett class bulls. Mule deer hunters regularly encounter animals in the 190-220" range. Whitetail properties on the Kansas border have historically produced bucks over 200" with most in the 130-160" range.

Drop camp is the real deal: you pack in your own gear, hunt for five days, pack out. Jeremy's team supplies the camp and handles logistics.

What's included in camp: - Wall tent with cots, wood stove, cook stove - Full cookware, dishes, utensils, pots, pans - Water filter, five-gallon containers, lights - Game bags, bear bags, first aid kit - Axe, shovel, saw, tarps, flagging tape, paracord - Propane fuel, toilet paper, dish soap

Archery hunters typically hear and see elk daily. Getting a shot depends on your skill level and physical conditioning.

2025 Season Dates: - Archery: Sept 2-30 - Muzzleloader: Sept 10-18 - First Rifle: Oct 15-19

• •Success rates: Muzzleloader and rifle camps run 60-75% shot opportunity on bulls (weather dependent). Archery success depends on hunter skill and fitness.

• •Cost note: $350 pack fee per animal harvested. If hunting black bear as secondary game, add another $350 per bear taken.

Hunters pack out their own meat (quartering required). If your animal is down after 2 pm, it stays in a tree overnight and gets packed out the next morning. Game must be horse-accessible or packed to a horse-accessible location.

These are self-guided hunts on private ranches. You get the property map, stand locations, and support—but you're hunting on your own schedule.

Black bear can be added to any Southern Colorado deer or elk hunt for no additional outfitting fee. You only pay for the license and a $350 pack fee if successful. Licenses are over-the-counter (OTC) with caps—you need to call Colorado Parks and Wildlife on the date they announce to secure one.

Clients consistently mention Jeremy and his guides' hunting knowledge, work ethic, and scouting. Multiple testimonials praise their ability to locate trophy-class animals.
