Colorado OTC Archery and Muzzleloader Elk Hunts

ABOUT OUTFITTER:
This HFA Endorsed, family-owned and operated outfitter has been providing high-quality hunts since 2013. With exclusive access to thousands of acres of private land in both the mountains and Eastern Plains of Colorado, as well as experience across several states—from Kansas CRP fields to the rugged Western ranges—they bring generations of ranching and hunting expertise to every adventure.

The family continues to manage their working cattle ranch while offering world-class trophy hunts. They specialize in big game hunts for Elk, Mule Deer, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, Bighorn Sheep, and Merriam’s Turkey, providing diverse opportunities across varying terrain and hunting styles. Whether it’s stalking bugling bull elk in the rut, glassing for high-country mule deer, or tracking a mountain lion through deep snow, every hunt is tailored to deliver a memorable and successful experience.

They proudly accommodate hunters of all ages, abilities, and experience levels, offering both over-the-counter hunts and access to draw hunts requiring 0–12+ points. For those who don’t draw, landowner vouchers are available for many hunts, ensuring dream hunts remain within reach.

Their mission is simple: to offer high-success, professionally guided hunts while creating lasting memories in some of Colorado’s most scenic and productive hunting areas.

HUNT DETAILS:
Elk hunting here is as good as it gets and tags are available over the counter. The outfitter offers hunts in two distinct locations, each tailored to meet your preferences and hunting style. Whether you're drawn to a high alpine archery hunt, chasing bugling bulls through aspen-covered meadows at 10,000 feet, or prefer the lower elevation foothills at 7,500 feet, stalking bulls through the pinyons, they have the hunt for you.

These 6-day, 1-on-1 guided hunts offer a variety of techniques, including spot-and-stalk, calling with bugles and cow calls, waterhole ambushes, and more—depending on conditions and hunter preference. Elk sightings are common, and you can expect to encounter bulls on most days.

Bulls in both locations typically range from 300–350+ inches, with most hunters taking home bulls in the 300–330 class. The high mountain hunt provides access to 2,000 acres of private land, along with exclusive access to over 60,000 acres of landlocked public land behind the ranch. In the foothills, hunters enjoy access to 15,000+ acres of exclusively leased private ground.

Whether you're a seasoned elk hunter or chasing your first bugling bull, these hunts deliver incredible opportunities in stunning terrain.
