Western Range Club — Private hunting access.Across the West.

More ground. Less pressure. More days that count.

Western Range Club is a private hunting club connecting members with ranches, sporting properties, and private land across the American West — on country that is closed to everyone else.

The Club

The best country
in the West
is private.
This is the way in.

Western Range Club partners directly with landowners, ranches, and sporting properties to build a growing network of hunting access for members who would rather spend the season on ground nobody else is walking.

The club combines the relationships and local knowledge of a traditional sporting organization with technology built specifically for private land access — so the hard part is choosing the day, not finding somebody to ask.

Private Ground

Ranches and sporting properties, held by the families who look after them.

Limited Pressure

Fewer hunters on more country. That is the whole of it.

A Real Answer

Find the property, request your days, and hear back — without phone trees, paper calendars, or guesswork.

The Ground

Hunt where the public land ends.

Western Range Club builds relationships with private landowners, ranches, and sporting properties to give members access to hunting throughout the West — the kind of ground you can otherwise only reach by knowing somebody.

Every property sets its own rules, its own seasons, and its own number of guns per day, and every one of those is on the page before you request your days. Nothing about a hunt here should be a surprise at the gate.

From upland birds and waterfowl to turkey and big game, the goal is simple: connect responsible hunters with exceptional country and the people who care for it.

  • Sporting Properties

All hunting is subject to state licensing, draws, seasons, regulations, property rules, and availability. Membership opens the gate; it does not issue the tag.

The Quarry

What the country holds.

Western private ground carries most of what a season can ask for. These are the windows the country keeps — not a property list, and not a guarantee.

Elk
Sep – Nov
Archery through late rifle, on benches and timber that have not been walked since last season.
Mule deer
Sep – Nov
High sage, broken draws, and the quiet edges where the old ones wait out the pressure.
Pronghorn
Aug – Oct
Open country and long glass. A spot-and-stalk that pays patience and punishes hurry.
Whitetail
Oct – Dec
River bottoms, shelterbelts, and creek brush along the eastern plains.
Upland birds
Sep – Jan
Pheasant, chukar, sharptail, and blue grouse over a dog that has earned the ground.
Waterfowl
Oct – Jan
Flooded stubble and cattail sloughs, and a blind nobody raced you to at four in the morning.
Turkey
Apr – May
Spring gobblers on ranch ground, without an orange vest behind every other tree.

Windows are typical Western ranges and move by state, unit, weapon, and year. Which species a property is open for — and when — is set by that property and shown before you request days. The club’s network is being assembled now; founding members hear about each ranch as it comes online.

Built by people who know the West.

Our team brings years of experience managing private sporting access, working with landowners, serving hunters, and building relationships throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.

Good access depends on more than finding good country.

It depends on

Trust.

Landowners need hunters who respect their ground. Hunters need properties worth the drive. Both deserve a club that communicates clearly, operates professionally, and protects the relationships that make private access possible at all.

That’s what Western Range Club is built to do.

How It Works

Four steps
between you
and the gate.

Technology should make getting outside easier, not become another thing to manage.

Western Range Club access runs on HunterPass — one place to find properties, request days, and hold your season in order.

  1. Find the ground

    Browse participating ranches and sporting properties: acreage, terrain, what each one is open for, and how many guns it takes a day.

  2. Request your days

    Pick a date and a party size. The landowner sees exactly who is asking and what they intend to hunt.

  3. Get a real answer

    Approval comes back with the day fee, the property rules, the gate, and where to park. Exact locations stay private until it does.

  4. Go hunt

    No phone trees. No paper calendars. No driving four hours wondering whether anybody knows you are coming.

More than a membership.

Western Range Club is being built as a community for people who would rather spend another day in the field than talk about the last one.

  • Private Ground

    Ranches and sporting properties across a growing Western network.

  • Managed Pressure

    Guns per day are set by the landowner — not by who reached the trailhead first.

  • Guides & Local Knowledge

    Outfitters and ranch hands who know the unit, the country, and how the year has run.

  • Member Days

    Hosted hunts, clinics, gatherings, and a long table at the end of a season.

  • A Growing Western Network

    Beginning in Colorado and expanding throughout the American West.

  • Landowner Relationships

    A club built on responsible use, clear communication, and long partnerships.

One membership.
Every gate in the network.

Dues open the network. Each property sets its own day and access fee, shown before you request days and paid to the landowner when you reserve — so beyond dues you only pay for the days you actually hunt.

Initiation is a one-time fee. Dues are billed annually.Property day fees and access fees are set by each property, shown before you request days, and paid at the time of reservation — so beyond dues you only pay for the days you actually hunt.

Legacy Membership

Fifty memberships that never expire.

Paid once. Held for good. Passed on without limit.

Most memberships end when the member does.

A legacy membership doesn’t. You pay once — no initiation, no annual dues, not now and not later — and you name who it goes to after you. So does the person you name. There is no cap on how many times that can happen.

Western Range Club will issue fifty of them. Then the roll closes and we do not open it again.

The roll

  1. Open now

    $2,500once

    The first twenty-five

    Members 1 through 25, numbered in the order they join.

  2. Then

    $5,000once

    The twenty-five after

    The rate the membership settles at once the first batch closes.

No initiation and no annual dues at either price, for anyone who ever holds it.

No initiation. No dues. Ever.
Paid once, at the rate of the day. Neither you nor anyone who comes after you pays an initiation fee or annual dues again.
Passed down without limit
Each holder names the next. No cap on generations and no new initiation at any handover — but it stays one membership on one line, and it does not divide among heirs.
A guest who is family
Bring a child or grandchild on your own booking without a separate membership. The point of the thing is the person who first took you.
An annual minimum, not dues
Legacy members carry a minimum in day and access fees each year, the way a club carries a table minimum. Hunt at all and you will never meet it. A successor's first year is exempt.
Perpetual, and written that way
The term is perpetual and the membership agreement says so plainly. A promise this long is worth nothing if the wording leaves us a way out of it.

Somebody took you the first time.

This is how you do the same for somebody else, and how they do it after you.

Fifty legacy memberships, then the roll closes. Succession must be named in writing. Property day fees and access fees remain set by each property and are paid at the time of reservation. Access remains subject to availability, to state licensing and draws, and to each property's rules. Legacy members carry an annual minimum of $1,000 in combined property day and access fees; any shortfall is billed at the end of the membership year, and a successor’s first year is exempt. Membership acceptance remains subject to Western Range Club membership requirements.

Built in Colorado.
Made for the West.

Western Range Club begins with deep roots in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, with a long-term vision of opening exceptional private hunting country throughout the American West.

  • ColoradoFounding region
  • Wyoming
  • Montana
  • Idaho
  • Utah
  • New Mexico

Colorado is where the club begins. The states beyond it describe where we intend to grow — not where properties exist today, and we would rather say so than let a map imply otherwise.

Stewardship

Good country stays good because someone looks after it.

Cover that holds birds through a hard January, winter range that still carries elk in March, water that has not gone alkaline by August — none of it is an accident. It is the result of work, and most of that work is done by the families and managers who own the ground.

Western Range Club is built to support that work. Day and access fees go to the people doing it. Members are expected to follow every property rule, respect posted limits and seasons, close the gates behind them, and leave a place as they found it. Ground that is being hunted too hard comes off the calendar — we would rather grow slowly than open more country than it can carry.

1%of the platform’s profits is directed to land, water, and habitat conservation.

Profits, not revenue. The revenue version sounds better, and it is a promise a young platform cannot keep through the years it loses money. We would rather make the smaller commitment and actually meet it.

Which also means being straight about the present: until there are profits, there is a commitment and an accounting structure, not a check. That is why habitat stewardship sits on our roadmap rather than in our launch claims.

Membership Transfer

Already belong to a club?

We’ll honor the dues you’ve already paid.

Joining Western Range Club shouldn’t mean paying twice for the same year.

If you have an active annual membership with another qualifying hunting, shooting, or sporting club, show us proof of your most recent annual dues payment and we’ll recognize the remaining term of that membership toward your Western Range Club annual dues.

You’ll pay the standard Western Range Club initiation fee when you join, but your first annual dues won’t fall due until your existing paid membership period ends.

How it works

Say you paid another club through June 30.

  1. The day you join

    Paid once, up front

    The standard Western Range Club initiation fee. Nothing else is due.

  2. Through June 30

    You pay us nothing

    You are already paid up with your other club for these months, so we don't charge you for them.

  3. From July 1

    Your first year begins

    Only once the membership you already paid for would have run out does your first Western Range Club year start.

No paying two clubs for the same months.

Your season shouldn’t start over.

Just send us your most recent dues receipt and we’ll take it from there.

Membership transfer applies to qualifying annual hunting, shooting, and sporting-club memberships. Proof of payment and current membership term required. Standard Western Range Club initiation fee applies at enrollment. Membership acceptance remains subject to Western Range Club membership requirements. Transfer recognition has no cash value and applies only to the timing of first-year annual dues.

The things people ask before they join.

Including the awkward one about whether you should wait until there is something in your state.

Do I still need a licence and tags?
Yes. Membership opens the gate; the state still issues the licence, and a draw unit is still a draw. Each property tells you which unit it sits in before you request days.
What does a day actually cost?
Dues buy the network. Each property sets its own day or access fee, which is shown before you request days and paid at the time of reservation. The landowner is paid it directly — that is the reason the gate opens.
Is it guided or on your own?
It depends on the property, and the property says which before you book. Some ranches are self-guided; some require an outfitter or a ranch escort. Nothing about that is a surprise on the morning.
Can I bring a guest?
Guest policy is set by each property and shown on its page — some allow a guest on your booking at the property's rate, some do not. We would rather tell you than let you find out at the gate.
How many members will you take?
Enough to fill the calendar the properties can carry, and no more. If ground is being hunted too hard it comes off the calendar — we would rather grow slowly than open more country than it can stand.
There is nothing in my state yet. Should I wait?
That is an honest question and it deserves an honest answer. Colorado is where the club begins. Founding members joining now are joining ahead of the network, and hear about each property as it comes online — which is the whole reason the founding rate is what it is.

Become a founding member.

Western Range Club is building its founding membership now. Founding members are the first through the gate, help shape what the club becomes, and gain access to every property as the network grows.

Tell us what you hunt and where you are, and we’ll send membership details along with the country nearest you.

The network opens in Colorado first. Founding members joining now are joining ahead of it — we would rather say so plainly than let the page imply a map that does not exist yet.

Species, regions, whether you hunt with a dog — it all helps us point you at the right ground.

The Founding Charter

  1. Your founding rate, held

    Dues stay at the founding rate for as long as your membership stays current, and initiation is paid once — never again.

  2. A membership you can pass on

    A founding membership may be transferred once to a family member or a named successor, without a new initiation. Few things in the outdoors are worth more than the person who first took you.

  3. A place on the founding roll

    Founding members are recorded on the club's charter, in the order they joined, with the number they were given. That record does not get rewritten.

  4. First call on new ground

    A booking window on every new property before it opens to the wider membership.

  5. A hand in what we pursue

    We ask founding members which regions, species, and kinds of ground to chase next — and tell you what came of it.

The gate is open.

Millions of acres of private ground.
Ranches never opened to a stranger.
Country most hunters only drive past.

Western Range Club exists to open more of it.
