Archery & Muzzleloader Hunts
Bugling Bull Elk and the high country are an awesome combination that’s hard to imagine, and if you’ve never experienced it, you should.
You will pursue rutting bulls during the breeding season, when their eerie bugling fills the mountain air and they become the most vulnerable. Stalking and calling these elusive animals you can sometimes bring them as close as a few yards or even feet, allowing you a clear shot. These up close encounters are some of the most thrilling and exciting hunting action you will ever experience.
Colorado’s archery season begins the last Saturday of August and runs through the last Sunday of September, providing many opportunities for the archery hunter. Either sex archery tags are available through the lottery only.
Muzzleloader season takes place the third week of September during the peak of the rut, providing the cap and ball hunter a tremendous opportunity to harvest a mature bull elk. Tags are available through the lottery only, and it currently takes two to three years to draw. Application must be made by April 6th of each year.
These hunts take place during the pre-rut and rut when the mature bulls are sparring and building their harem of cows. The action really picks up when these dominate herd bulls are battling and fighting to protect their established harems and breeding areas from those pesky satellite bulls.
These archery and muzzleloader hunts are unbelievable, in your face, up close and personal encounters, that will rattle the nerves of even the most hardcore whitetail hunter. So, if you’re tired of sitting in your tree stand waiting for a buck to walk by, and you’d like to experience the ultimate hunting rush, give us a call to book one of these heart pounding hunts.

My dad and I have been self-guided and outfitted archery elk hunters for 4 years, and have always been a bit “wary” of outfitters, until we shopped and found this outfit. WOW, are we glad we did….it’s much more than a hunt, it’s an experience. High country, great people, great accommodations and food, BIG bulls, shots and shot opportunities like we’ve never had before. Thanks Tenderfoot. We’ll be back next year, and the next year, and the next!! - Dr. A Ochsner, IL
