A note on Colorado State Trust Lands:
State Trust Lands are not now, nor have they ever been public lands available for public access. The State Trust Lands program was initiated by the federal government which granted these lands to states at statehood for the purpose of monetizing in order to fund public schools. Grazing leases, oil & gas leases, hunting & recreation leases are just a few of the ways these lands are monetized to raise money to fund public schools and in 2018 alone, Colorado State Trust Lands distributed over $122.3M to Colorado public schools. By booking this property and other State Trust Land properties on LandTrust, you can be happy to know you're directly funding public schools through your outdoor adventures.

Property is easy to find, and the two track was in pretty good shape. You will probably need a pickup to access the bottom of the property. Most of the trees are on private surrounding the lease. We saw turkeys on the private and only one on the lease. Nice property , I would go back.

This property provides a lot of ravines and draws for wildlife. It is adjacent to farmland, which provides good habitat and feed. When driving to the site, pay close attention to the directions, and slow down considerably before you get to each turn. Otherwise it’s easy to drive past the turn off. My wife and I used this day to hike and explore the property!! We want to thank Abe Medina for all his assistance in arranging a special day for my wife & me. We will go back.!!

This property is always my goto on the eastern plains. Such a diverse piece of land and multitude of transition corridors for many species. Abe is always great to work with and responsive to any questions.
Reviewed by Guest on April 2021Abe MDwayne communicated effectively and let me know about issues. I would certainly welcome him and his group back in the future.

We filled a turkey tag at Horsecreek. From the sound of it the adjacent property roosts a pretty good flock of turkey. Their range seems to include some of the eastern portions of this site and we were able to call a nice Rio Grande over. Fun property to explore, and even to access. We had a couple coyote encounters, saw signs of deer/elk and watched bison on the adjacent property.
Reviewed by Guest on April 2021Abe MGreat sportsmen. Easy transaction. Would definitely let him and his party on the property again.

Booking and Information for property was simple and easy to navigate. This particular property was exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately weather played a huge role in my lack of success. Extremely high winds, snow and wind chills below zero hampered movement of animals during my stay, however I will be rebook and be back.
Reviewed by Guest on December 2020Abe MVery communicative and respectful. Understood the limitations and concern of a landowner.
