Cotton Mesa Trophy Elk Ranch

If you’re serious about hurting trophy quality elk or just want a great experience and filling your freezer with meat, Travis and his crew have a fantastic hunt in store for you ! Cotton Mesa Ranch is absolutely amazing, from the incredible views on the ranch to the lodge and 5 star quality service! And if you are a connoisseur of fine dining , Chef John is a true genius in the kitchen! Their dedication to hospitality is evident in everything they do. Between myself and my daughter we’ve taken 5 elk on CMR and I’m going back in’25!

Attention to every detail to make this one of the finest hunting trips you will experience. As a life long hunter, this tops my list as the best hunt I’ve yet to experience. You’re immediately made feel welcome and soon feels like you’re on a trip with a bunch of your friends. Travis and his staff are second to none. Thanks to them for a trip I will never forget.

Cotton Mesa ranch checked every box. First class professional guides, accommodations, game, ranch, food, cleaning facility, and equipment. Very beautiful country and they have been great stewards of the land and its rich history. I’ve been on dozens of big game hunts and Cotton Mesa ranch sets the bar for the best experience all around. Trip and hunt of a lifetime that I hope to do again very soon.

The Cotton Mesa Team is exemplary! The combination of safety, truly world class elk, & excellent conservation and ecological stewardship come together for an unforgettable hunting experience. My son and I had the opportunity to hunt together and enjoy a wonderful weekend together. We had the opportunity to harvest extraordinary bulls - an amazing accomplishment that is a testament to the hard work that makes such a thing possible. The time together was extraordinary, the fellow guests were terrific, and the guides, support, and facilities were a delight. Thanks so much to the Cotton Mesa Team!!

Travis and his entire team have an excellent operation going on. They pay attention to every detail from the moment you arrive to when you leave to ensure that you have the best experience possible with memories to last a lifetime. The food is phenomenal, the lodge is spotless, and most importantly their elk are massive. I have been to some outstanding outfitters and this one takes first place hands down. I will be telling everyone I meet about my experience here. I plan on returning in a couple years. If you don’t trust my review then the best thing for you to do is book a trip and see what it’s like first hand. Thank you to the entire Cotton Mesa Team for allowing me to come up and have the best hunting trip of my life. I can not wait to return.
