Our western location, "Kinship Creek Ranch," is just outside Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It offers 75 acres of mountainsides, meadows, wetlands, a half mile of winding river, thousands of trees, a rustic cabin, large corral and a dirt road that winds three quaters of a mile from the entrance to the ranch at 7200 feet up to the top of the mountain at 7600 feet. Wildlife? It's abundant! Deer, elk, cougar, beaver, bear, bob cat, lynx and lots of birds, from hummingbirds to wild turkey. Will they all cooperate with your shooting schedule and blocking? Probably not, so we just put in a call to our "critter casting director" at the fabulous wildlife park just up the road. Of course, horses, mules, wagons and wranglers are available, too.
