Western Colorado Outfitters

Boone and Crockett has Gunnison County as the #1 producer, with the world record elk and numerous others registered. In our trophy area we have taken two Boone and Crockett elk from our horse pack-in camp. Colorado's elk herds are and will stay the largest of all western states. The quality of our elk has risen since the 4-point or better rule. More heavy horned five and six point bulls now exist. They are no longer uncommon in Colorado. In our timber areas there are many springs with wallows galore to sit and rest your weary bones. The remote settings and pristine beauty all add to your exciting adventure in the rugged atmosphere of the Rockies! Colorado elk herds are at an all time high. Thanks to the 4-point restriction our young bulls have been protected and this has given us more mature bulls. Some of these mature bulls will be spotted yearly. If you haven't yet experienced a horse back hunt, where few hunters roam, you owe it to yourself. We have many packages available to hunt the majestic monarchs of the Gunnison National Forest.

We offer fully guided hunts, 1x1, to semi & unguided packages. We generally allow no more than six hunters in a camp. Horses and mules will be used to pack you into camp. We will leave camp daily on horseback, horseback rides vary daily, from one hour to one hour and 45 minutes. Mules will be taken with the guide daily to pack game so very little hunting time is lost. Game will be moved in non-prime time hunting! To enjoy it to the fullest, hunters must be in good physical condition and willing to work hard. Pack-in camp hunts are all 1x1 or 2x1 Rifle hunts. Come and enjoy the hunt of a lifetime in the great Rockies of Colorado. Although Western Colorado Outfitting does not guarantee all guests their game, we feel each individual has a great chance of filling their tags. Our camps are covered by a radio system for your safety, to be used in emergencies. All of our hunts are conducted on US Forest Service. All hunts are fair chase in scenic Colorado.
