We are one of "Colorado's Premier Guide and Outfitters" services. We are big game outfitters offering premier Colorado elk hunting during the archery season, muzzleloader season, and rifle season which are prime hunts. Our Colorado Elk rifle hunts are just spectacular. Our guides are experienced and knowledgeable on the elk migration, habitat, and location. The Colorado Elk Guided hunts are 1 guide for 2 hunters. Drop camps are available for the do-it-yourselfers. The hunts are for 7 days (1 day in, 5 days hunting, 1 day out.) We also offer guided horse pack trips into National Forest land.

The Hubbard Creek region of Western Colorado is renowned for its exceptional Colorado big game hunting opportunities. The region is game rich with elk, mule deer, and black bear. We offer specialized elk hunts tailored to the needs of the sportsman. Combination hunts are also available and include pack-in tent camps on National Forest lands with cabin accommodations.

Whether you are a bowhunter, black powder/muzzleloader hunter, or a rifle sportsman, we guarantee you a wonderful experience and the quality hunt of a lifetime. We are a locally owned family business, licensed and bonded as required by the State of Colorado.

Our Colorado big game hunts furnish you with:

  • Top Guides

  • Excellent Cooks

  • Horses - Our well-trained mountain horses are strong and gentle.

We can provide transportation from Grand Junction or Montrose to your hunting camp and back after the hunt is over.

We also offer guided horse pack trips into the Gunnison National Forest land.
