Everyone in Colorado knows someone who knows someone who has killed a nice bull on some private ranch west of Trinidad. But they never seem to reveal the details of which ranch or where.

That's a fine bull. Congratulations!

I'm not sure if it is the same ranch, but I took a bull Bison at the "Crazy Frenchman's" ranch a couple of years ago. The ranch is located just east of Trinidad, and behind "Fishers Peak". At that time "Larry" was the ranch mgr.
Quite a tale behind the name of the ranch, as the original French owner walked outside one morning, and blew his brains out, leaving his young widow with no idea of why. Of course she didn't have a clue how to run a ranch.
It's a long story as to how the ranch evolved.
As for Elk, I harvest them here at my ranch, 35 miles NW of Trinidad. This is a game rich environment, with plenty of Elk, Deer, Turkey, and Bear. And of course, those few occasional Cougars that seem to trail the Elk herds. Or, perhaps that's just when one of the trail cams manages to snap a chance photo of these sneaky critters?
Other than "Spanish Peaks", and "Bosque del Oso" State Wildlife Areas, the land here is all privately-owned.
Respects,
Richard
Cat, the other white meat!
