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.

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:
Rifle Elk hunting here is truly world-class, with three distinct locations tailored to fit your preferred style of hunt. Whether you're chasing bugling bulls in the high alpine meadows at 10,000 feet, stalking through the foothills among pinyon-covered ridges at 7,500 feet, or pursuing elusive bulls across the open prairies at 4,500 feet, this outfitter has the perfect hunt to match your goals.

All rifle elk hunts are five days in length and are fully guided on a 1-on-1 basis. These are true spot-and-stalk hunts, where hunters glass from high vantage points before making their move. Elk movement can be unpredictable during this season, as bulls roam in search of the last good forage. Staying mobile and covering country efficiently is key to success.

In the high country, hunters have access to 2,000 acres of private land and exclusive permits to over 60,000 acres of landlocked public ground. The foothills hunts take place on more than 15,000 acres of privately leased land, while the plains hunts cover 14,000 acres of private property.

On average, bulls score between 300–330 inches, with opportunities to glass bulls in the 300–350+ class. While elk may not be seen every day, the quality of bulls and diversity of terrain make each hunt a unique and rewarding experience.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
The outfitter provides everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable hunting experience.

We've taken care of the details so you can focus on the hunt.
