Your safety and quality experiance are very important to us. The following faq’s should help you to know what to bring to enjoy your day and what is required from you at the Runaway Inn.

Do I need a hunting license?  No, since you are on a private licensed hunting preserve you do not need a Colorado hunting license. However much of the birds you will shoot are wild birds and state licensing fees pay for the majority of our states game management practices. So buying a Colorado State license and habitat stamp is supporting game management in our state.

Do I need to wear hunters orange? At the minimum, we require you to hunt with an orange cap, however we strongly urge you to  hunt with an orange vest or coat as well. Hunting caps are available for purchase at the Runaway Inn. We also encourage you to wear eye and ear protection. They are not required to hunt, but we do require them to be worn while shooting trap.

Is there bird cleaning availible?  We have a heated building with running water available for bird cleaning.  Cleaning implements and waste bins are there for you to use and  zip lock bags and ice are available for packaging. We only ask that you leave the building in the same clean condition as you found it.  A travel voucher is necessary for you to travel with bagged birds and will be issued by a Runaway Inn staff member at the end of your hunt.

Can I bring my dogs? yes, not only do we encourage you to bring your dogs we require you to hunt with a quality gun dog.   You will need to bring ample water for your gun dogs. This is dry land hunting so you will want to keep your gun dogs watered early and often. Between the sun, wind and dry climate your dog can become dehydrated quickly even on a cool day. There are water spickets availible at the main building to refill water containers but be sure to bring your own containers.  If you are staying in the lodge dogs may be in the room with you provided they are kept in a dog crate. There is a heated building where crated dogs can also be kept overnight.

Are Lodging & Meals Availible? There is a full service restaurant at the Runaway Inn where lunch and dinner is served Tuesday thru Saturday. There are rooms availible at the Inn for hunters. We encourage you to book these rooms early as their availibility is limited.

Can I bring my RV? Yes, by all means. We have good level spaces for parking your RV. The cost for parking your RV at the RAI is $25.00 per day which includes electric hook-up.  

What you should bring to enjoy your day with us. Layered clothing. Like other parts of Colorado the weather on the eastern plains can be unpredictable and can change rapidly. Bringing layers of clothing will help you stay comfortable throughout the day. The hunting fields are removed from the Inn so you should  bring plenty of water and fluids to keep yourselves hydrated throughout the day. There is no alcohol allowed in the fields while hunting or anytime on the trap range.

What we supply;

1.) an ample supply of birds, ring neck pheasants or chukar

2.) great native CRP grassland situated between large harvested corn and bean circles.

3.) great memories
