How do I get to hunt on the Floyd Lee Ranch, NM

Ain't got a lot but how do you contact them? Did a search on the internet but come up empty handed.

They used to sell all of their tags to USO. Not sure if they still do or not.

USO has the lease on the ranch for tags for elk you need to call them if you want to hunt the Floyd Lee. nmbighorn
 
Why would you want to pay that much money to hunt the Floyd Lee? Very seldom did they kill a bull over 300. You can buy a Gila archery tag and hire a good guide and kill something big for the same price. If you want go private save $2,000 more and hunt the double H with Ross Johnson and maybe kill a 350 or better.
 
Thanks for the advice. I'm in Arkansas and trying to learn about elk hunting. So far I did buy a landowner tag in New Mexico for 2007 that I got thanks to this site. Is Colorado a waste of time for limited entry or not?

Not a waste of time, you got to look at it like you do Arizona or Nevada....a long term investment. you can not draw if you don't apply.
 
LAST EDITED ON Feb-27-07 AT 05:36PM (MST)[p]Unit 44/45. I called 3references so far and they all said it was a slam dunk great time and I should get an elk. I thought it sounded better than what I thought the average kill ratio was.
edited to add: I figure that the average overall kill ratio for elk hunters is <35%
 
Probably not but according to the latest video just posted, the Ranch "leases the public land for hunting" around him too. :eek::LOL:

I watched that Youtube vid just today. Bullies.....but at least everyone that has watched that video and wants to hunt elk on that 300+acre parcel has the knowledge of what to say now. BS that an outfitter/owner would think no one would catch on to that. Everyone knows you can't lease hunting rights on public land.
 
Yes you can you can lease the recreational rights or agriculture rights on state of Colorado land recreational rights include hunting. I know multiple individuals that have state ground leased here for the recreational rights

Correct, through the state land board.

Recreation​


All trust lands are managed to provide financial support to important state institutions, primarily K-12 public education. As Trustee for these lands, the State Land Board generates revenue by issuing leases and permits for a wide variety of uses on these properties, including private recreation. Approximately 400,000 acres of trust lands are currently leased for private recreational use, including the following uses:
  • Private and guided hunting and fishing
  • Hiking and horseback riding
  • Backcountry survival courses
  • Mountain bike trails
  • Archery and firearm ranges
  • Private campgrounds
  • Endurance races
  • Feature film locations
We are always open to discussing innovative uses on trust land. However, please note that as Trustee for these properties, we cannot donate trust land (no matter how noble the cause), or make it available for recreational use without charging a use fee.
 
True. Regardless an individual can have the hunting rights to state ground here in Colorado thus making it private land. FYI if you get caught on leased state ground here you will be charged with trespassing

True! It pisses me off every single time I hunt around North Mountain!
 
This sounds unfair and completely makes a property NOT "public land". So it is public but the public cannot recreate on it because it has been leased to one specific entity. The public has no legal opportunity to enjoy said land? This baffles me....

Can you ski for free at forest service permitted ski areas?

These areas are not really public land. They are state owned and I believe are to support schools. So they are leased to bring in annual revenues. Very few that I have seen have public access
 
I am having a similiar problem here in Montana. A public road going to state land is locked by the landowner. Game warden, forest service and county road department have not given me a straight answer in 4 years.....but I was told that they would write me up for trespassing if I went back there.
 
Floyd Lee is full of ****. Here's two great videos showing the criminal activity. the start of Video #2 clearly outlines what they are doing at the ranch.

Since when did the Double H start having elk hunts other than the owners? Thought they only take a bull or two off of their every year.

Shoot I see this is from 2007. Not relevant today for the Double H I'm guessing

They've recently opened up several State Trust properties and made them available for public hunting. They promoted this the last few years to kind of beat their chest about how Colorado is opening up more areas to recreate. However when you look at the properties they opened, most were in the Southeastern part of the State and I'm guessing they didn't general much revenue. The good ST lands for big game hunting brings in good revenue for the schools, thus I'd highly doubt they ever turn these back to public lands. I believe there's also some kind of "fee" required to recreate on these lands if you don't have a hunting tag. Many freeloaders were complaining about this saying it's public land thus they shouldn't have to pay. So it seems the State tries to make up for any lost lease revenue by charging a "fee" to use these lands. This is all from my recollection that I read about over a year ago so some of this might be slightly different.

He just hasn't tried to bully the wrong person yet......
