This outfitter specializes in fair-chase hunts, emphasizing ethical hunting practices and conservation efforts. Hunters should be prepared for physical activity, as the terrain can be demanding, but the reward of harvesting a mature bull elk in the heart of Colorado’s wilderness is well worth the effort. For hunters seeking a thrilling Western adventure, this private land guided elk hunt on Colorado’s Western Slope offers an unmatched experience. The area is known for its rugged terrain, vast public lands, and healthy elk populations, this region is a prime destination for those in pursuit of elk. With this experienced outfitter leading the way, hunters gain access to some of the best habitat and great elk numbers in the state of Colorado. The terrain consists of sagebrush flats and oak-covered ridges to high-elevation aspen forests and meadows.
HUNT DETAILS:
The hunting seasons for the hunts offered take place in September for archery and muzzleloader hunts, and October and November for rifle hunts. September and Early October coincide with the pre-rut and peak rut phases. This timing increases the likelihood of encountering bulls as they become more active, searching for cows.
This fully outfitted hunt provides all the essentials, including expert guides, lodging, meals, and the opportunity to hunt with a bow, muzzleloader, or rifle, depending on the season you choose to hunt. The outfitter strategically positions hunters to intercept bucks as they move between bedding and feeding areas. Spot-and-stalk hunting is the most common method, often requiring patience, shooting skills, and an understanding of mule deer behavior.
The target on these hunts is a mature branch-antlered bull. As you will see in the gallery, these types of bulls are regularly harvested and range in size from rag-horn bulls up too mature/big bulls. Although there are no guarantees, this 42,000 acre prime elk deer area is a very solid place to produce a great bull that most hunters are more than happy to hunt and harvest.
