Stillroven Farm

Tucked away in rural farmland near Mead, Colorado, in the shadow of the majestic Longs Peak, lies Stillroven Farm, a family-owned, members-only upland bird hunting preserve. Since its inception in 1970, when it opened as Bang-A-Way Gun Club, it has maintained its status as one of Colorado's most pristine and elite hunting clubs. Located just 45 minutes north of downtown Denver and 25 minutes south of Fort Collins, it is the oldest private upland hunting club in the state of Colorado.

The pasture, a mixture of native grasses and alfalfa, has been free of chemicals for at least three years. The cover provides the best natural habitat possible for pheasant and chukar partridge, making for a very challenging and sporting hunt. The farm uses a Cryovac system for bagging and sealing cleaned birds to ensure freshness and easy traveling.

Products are available at the farm on Wednesdays and Fridays during the spring and summer, and on weekends during the winter. Stillroven Farm's hunts are professionally guided and use the Club's trained flushing dogs, which are Springer Spaniels and English Cockers. Members and guests who wish to use their own dog for all or part of a hunt may do so. The clubhouse, remodeled from an old barn dating back to the early 1900s, features a regulation pool table, card tables, and a large open fireplace. Coffee, tea, and soft drinks are complimentary, and lunches can be ordered from the menu.
