  Hunting

We operate our Archery, Muzzle Loading and Rifle elk hunts under special use permits issued to us by the USDA Forest Service in the White River National Forest and the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in game management unit 24.

We are the home of the world's largest herd of migratory elk. This beautiful country contains all of the geographic features associated with prime Colorado elk hunting country. Elevations range from 8,000' to 11,400' across this terrain, covering the movement of the elk from their summer habitat to their winter ranges across the hunting seasons. Our hunts are conducted on the Big Ridge, East Marvine, and Main Marvine trails.

Drop Camps: Our wilderness drop camps are situated in a beautiful pine and aspen tree rimmed areas and are accessed only by horseback. All drop camps are fully furnished with everything you'll need and will also include your pack in and out on horseback, camp checks and game packing. You provide only food and beverage for your stay, a warm sleeping bag, your personal gear and your hunting equipment.

$1,800 per person (1st Rifle Season)
$1,700 per person (2nd Rifle Season)
$1,600 per person (Archery, Muzzle & 3rd Rifle Seasons)

Guided Hunting: Our mountain guides are knowledgeable hunters and are very committed to providing you a successful hunt. You will be provided with a horse, game packing and guide service for a five day hunt. Guided hunts are conducted with 1 guide to every 2 hunters. All hunting is done on horseback. We offer the following two options for our guided hunters:

"A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be... time to commune with your inner soul as you share the outdoors with the birds, animals, and fish that live there."  --Fred Bear
