RECREATION

Bow & Barrel Lodge is centered around offering premier hunting and shooting experiences. The property’s signature attraction is its well-established, multi-season upland bird hunting operation that continually draws sportsmen from across the region. While there, guests can also take advantage of the on-site trap range and 500-yard rifle range providing a venue for sharpening shooting skills and friendly competitions.

HUNTING | WILDLIFE

While the primary focus at Bow & Barrel Lodge is upland birds, the surrounding areas also provide excellent hunting opportunities for dove, turkey and waterfowl.

These attributes enhance Bow & Barrel’s potential position as an ideal destination for the complete outdoor sporting experience.

LOCATION

Bow & Barrel Lodge is conveniently located two miles east of Joes, Colorado, and sits just one mile south of Highway 36. Its location, about 130 miles east of Denver, makes the lodge easy to reach in two hours.

The lodge sits in the heart of Colorado’s eastern plains, surrounded by the wide-open grasslands, wheat fields, and CRP ground that define Yuma County. This region is widely regarded as some of the finest upland bird hunting country in the state. Yuma County consistently produces notably high pheasant harvests, thanks to optimal habitat conditions and abundant birds. The mix of native grasslands, agricultural fields, and river bottoms creates an ideal habitat for pheasants to thrive. Beyond pheasant, greater prairie chickens are commonly found in the northeastern sandhills of Yuma County, preferring medium-height grasses in sand sagebrush grasslands, often mixed with cornfields. Pronghorn antelope also roam the rolling plains, making this a destination that rewards hunters across multiple seasons. The terrain is flat to gently rolling, offering big-sky views in every direction and the kind of quiet that’s hard to find closer to the Front Range.

From Denver:

• East on Interstate 70 to exit 316 (Highway 36).

• Continue east on Highway 36 to Yuma CR J.

• Turn south for one mile to CR 5.
