| Founded in 1991, Lone Cone Outfitters is headquartered on the "Eagles' | |
| Nest Ranch", which is located on the north slope of the famous "Lone Cone" Mountain approximately 20 miles south of Norwood, Colorado. Lone Cone Outfitters is fully insured; bonded; and licensed by Colorado Outfitter Registration #2438. |

| The
founder of the Outfit, Ron Clements, is a retired USAF fighter pilot
who flew over 300 combat missions in Vietnam and later was the Wing
Commander of the Fighter Weapons Wing in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ron
was the overall commander of the USAF Top Gun programs for the F-4;
F-15; F-16; F-111; and A-10 aircrafts. Also under his command was
the USAF Air Demonstration Squadron the "Thunderbirds" and Operational
Test & Evaluation for new fighter weapons systems. Ron's love of the outdoors and experience hunting throughout the US and many foreign countries led him to found Lone Cone Outfitters. Since it's inception the outfit has hosted clients from over 40 states and prides itself in providing quality service at reasonable rates. |

Lone Cone Outfitters offers year round activities. June through September a myriad of activities occur on and around the Ranch. Clients coming on Family Vacations and Business Group Retreats are offered horseback riding; lake and stream trout fishing; sport shooting; wildlife photography; mountain biking; outdoor cook-outs; tours of the many scenic areas of Southwest Colorado and many other summer activities. In 2010 the Lone Cone Outfitters Big Game hunting Operation was leased by Zach Prock of Montrose, Colorado who has for years been the owner and outfitter of Kinikin Outfitters, LLC. This leasing |
 |
arrangement included the Eagles Nest Ranch with its Lodge and other facilities along with the Private Ranch Hunting Leases that Lone Cone Outfitters had leased for years. Ron reached the "Ripe Age of 76" and was concerned that he physically might have health issues which could impact providing Great Service to the Clients. Zach's knowledge and experience in owning and operating Kinikin Outfitters made him the ideal choice to lease and continue the operation. He was also able to acquire some additional Private Land Hunting Leases in the area. This, in essence,
provided an Expanded and Great Big Game Hunting Operation. The Kill
Success in 2010 overall for Mule Deer was over 90% and for Elk
was 78%. This same operation is planned for 2011 with the anticipation
of equal or even great success. |
