The Hunt
Located in the San Juan Mountains, Units 51 and 52 feature a combination of public and private lands, with rugged terrain, dense timber, open meadows, and high elevations that create ideal elk habitat. The diverse landscape of mountains, canyons, and parks supports strong elk populations and has the potential to produce 250-to-300-inch class bulls or larger.
The winner will receive a five-day, one-on-one, fully guided rifle elk hunt. A landowner voucher will be provided for the hunter, ensuring the ability to hunt the designated unit. Huntin’ Fool will cover the cost of the guided hunt, landowner voucher, and applicable state taxes.
The owners are lifelong residents of the area with seven generations of family history in the region, bringing an unmatched knowledge of the land, elk behavior, and local hunting traditions.
Their passion for the outdoors is reflected in the high-quality, customized hunts they provide, led by experienced local guides who know the country and understand what it takes to put hunters in position for success.

Real People. Real Dreams. Previous Winners
Arctic Grizzly Bear
Much to my surprise, I won an Artic grizzly bear hunt when I signed up for Huntin' Fool and referred my son, who was standing next to me at SCI in Vegas. I can honestly say that this was one of the best hunts I have ever been on. I would like to thank Austin, Jerrod, Alaska Dall Sheep Guides, and Huntin’ Fool for an outstanding week of hunting.
Alaska Dall Sheep
Had a great time with Litzen Guide Service. Mike runs a first class operation and would be my first choice on a return hunt in Alaska. The ram went 37.5" with 14.5" bases at 9 years old. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience.
Kansas Whitetail Deer
I was so surprised when Huntin’ Fool called to tell me I had won one of those seemingly impossible to win hunts in the Membership Drive. I had won the hunt from Kansas with Jerry Meacham at Caney Creek Outfitters. It was one of the greatest experiences that I could ask for. Thank you Jerry Meacham and Huntin’ Fool for providing me with a hunt that will always be in my best memories!
Yukon Stone Sheep
I received a phone call from Huntin’ Fool telling me my $300 investment at the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo had paid off in spades. I ended up taking a ram that was 14 years old, tying him with one other ram as the oldest that had been taken at Deuling Stone. Many thanks to Deuling Stone for memories-of-a-lifetime and Huntin’ Fool for this amazing opportunity.
