The 2,238 deeded acre ranch is located about 8 miles NW of Sundance Wyoming in the Black Hills National Forest at an altitude of 5,500' about one hour W of Rapid City, SD on I 90. The name Sundance evokes images of rowdy Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid leading the wild bunch out of Wyoming on the longest stretch of bank and train robberies in history of the Old West. The name Sundance also summons up visions of Native American tribes camped at the base of nearby Sundance Mountain in the mystical Black Hills where they performed their sacred Sundance. This region is where the North American Tribal and Cowboy cultures grappled in a historic collision course. In these rolling hills covered with Ponderosa Pine, Aspen & Oak, the family has aggregated 5 ranch parcels providing the beautiful setting for their brand-new western cabin about 3,578 SF, six new hunting cabins and three new pole barn shops located strategically across the ridge lines, meadows and forests. South Miller Creek meanders through the ranch. At dawn and dusk the ranch meadows are traversed by cattle, elk and deer with Boone and Crocket class bulls and bucks, stalked by mountain lion and an occasional bear. Turkeys, upland game birds and waterfowl are common sights. The mountain meadows support about 200 cow/calf pairs, stocked through a seasonal lease with a ranch neighbor. The ranch owner has built high quality new corrals for working the cattle and for shipping. About 20 miles of mostly new fences enclose the ranch boundaries. Cattle are rotated through fenced pastures. To help disperse the cattle, 8 new stock watering tanks are distributed across the ranch supplied through about 5 miles of underground water lines. The water is pumped from a spring at the valley floor to a holding tank at the ranch high point. From that high point the water gravity flows to the strategically placed stock tanks that operate with solar panels to control the rate of water flow. Up there, Devils Tower, the Nation's first National Monument is visible about 8 miles to the NW as the raven flies. Two new shops are located in convenient locations at the North and South ends of the ranch, to support the ranch operations.

The Slater Dixon Ranch is currently enrolled, together with neighboring ranches, in Colorado's Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) Program, creating access to a managed landscape encompassing more than 80,000 acres of premier big game habitat. Through this cooperative partnership with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, participating landowners work to enhance wildlife habitat through grazing management, water development, timber treatments, and other conservation practices that improve forage quality and overall herd health. For sportsmen, the program provides a unique opportunity to manage and hunt wildlife across a much larger landscape than the deeded ranch alone. The extensive acreage, combined with coordinated habitat improvements and wildlife management, supports healthy populations of elk, pronghorn, and an abundance of trophy-quality mule deer. The ranch and surrounding landscape are known for producing mature mule deer, with excellent genetics, habitat diversity, and management practices contributing to exceptional age class and antler quality. Combined with strong elk and pronghorn numbers, the ranch offers outstanding big game hunting opportunities across a vast and well-managed landscape. One of the most significant benefits of the program is the enhanced hunting opportunity afforded to participating landowners. Ranching for Wildlife properties benefit from improved access to big game tags and extended hunting seasons designed to maximize wildlife management objectives and hunting quality. Current season structures generally allow hunting opportunities from September 1 through January 31, providing an exceptionally long season and the ability to hunt during multiple phases of animal movement, migration, and rut activity. These extended seasons, coupled with the scale of the managed landscape, create opportunities rarely available on traditional private ranches. In addition to habitat benefits and hunting opportunities, participating landowners receive management tools designed to enhance both wildlife quality and recreational enjoyment. Enrollment in the Ranching for Wildlife Program is voluntary and subject to Colorado Parks and Wildlife requirements, but the ranch's current participation offers a future owner the opportunity to continue benefiting from one of Colorado's most successful wildlife management partnerships while enjoying access to more than 80,000 acres managed specifically for wildlife conservation and quality hunting. While the ranch is presently enrolled in the program, participation is voluntary, and a future owner may choose to continue enrollment, modify participation as allowed by program guidelines, or pursue alternative wildlife management strategies. Buyers are encouraged to consult directly with Colorado Parks and Wildlife regarding current program requirements, benefits, and enrollment opportunities.
