Colorado Rifle Hunts
  Rifle Hunts
1st Season RifleThe first and second season rifle hunts are our most popular hunts, and all of our camps fill up quickly each year. The elk are still very active and can be ambushed in the early morning and late evening as they slip out to feed in the avalanche chutes, and numerous parks and meadows that dot the high country. The bulls are still bugling in an effort to control their harem of cows, the size of which can sometimes be as many as 20 to 30 head. This many eyes can make a close shot difficult, but still most shots are taken at 200 yards or less. These two seasons start the second Saturday and run through the last Sunday of October. Either sex or cow tags are available through the drawing only, but the area consistently is undersubscribed, 1st Season Rifle due mostly to the fact that it is accessible by horseback or foot only.
 
Second season either sex tags are available over the counter with a cap.Tags are sold on a first-come first-served basis until the quota is met. These tags go on sale in mid-July and as an outfitter we are able to purchase them for you at the local DOW office. Second season cow tags are also available through the lottery. If you’ve ever dreamed of going on a true horse camp elk hunt, this is your chance. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience high country elk hunting the way it was meant to be done. It’s never too early to guarantee your spot in camp, so give us a call today.

WOW….I’ve never seen a place like this, and to top it off the hunting is great.
This was my first guided hunt and I was a bit leery, but I couldn’t have found a better outfitter. A first-class operation from top to bottom, with all the
staff giving 110% from camp to field. If there is a better operation,
I’d like to see it! See ya next year….
