Colorado Elk Hunt

[Guest NASafariguy]

If you are looking for a Great archery Elk hunt with a great opportunity to have a shot an a elk look no further. Last year this outfitter had a 74% shot opportunity at elk within 30 yards. We are a nationally televised TV show and will be on location Filming with a bunch of our friends from Victory Archery. We only have a few opportunities left and if you Mention North American Safari when you call your hunt is only 3,000 plus license fees. That includes meals, lodging, guide and all the horse back riding that you could dream of since that will be our main transportation. This should pan out to be a great week of elk hunting in the Rut with lot's of bulls bugling.

The pack-in hunts are conducted from tent camps set in the hunting area. Horses are the only means of travel to and from these camps. You will have a good gentle horse or mule daily. The tents have wood stoves and cots with mattresses and some type of light. All wood is cut and we use fuel oil for starting fires. All meat will be skinned, animals caped and made ready for the taxidermist of your choice. The meat will be packed out to our base camp, and placed in our walk-in cooler. From the Base camp it is the clients responsibility to arrange for processing or cooling. Any transport of meat past Collbran, we will expect the client to pay for those services.

We have 6 man camps and 10 man camps. The guide ratio can run from 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 or 1 on 3 whatever the client would want. Our percentage of kill has run from 50 to 90% depending upon the camp and the weather. Weather plays a big part in any hunting. Our people are good, hard workers and Fred and Bill work right along with them in the camps. Many outfitters don't go to camp and work. Our wives work along doing the cooking. This is a family operation and the whole family will work hard for you as a client.

For those who like the smaller camps our six man camps produce a high percentage of 5 &6 point bulls and good bucks. They are all pack in and horses are the only means of transportation. They are on private land, National Forest and BLM.
