About Us - A True Colorado Wilderness Hunting Adventrue

DIY High Country Deluxe Drop Camps:

GET AWAY FROM THE CROWDS...Let us take you in by horseback to a remote Deluxe Wilderness Tent Camp in the Heart of the Colorado Rockies.

Price:

The price ranges from $2,950 to $3,750 depending on the camp.  We have 5 different camps to choose from.  You can hunt elk, bear and mule deer for the one price...there are no trophy fees for other game taken...you just have buy the proper tags from the state of Colorado.

Location:

White River National Forest in Unit 24 near Meeker Colorado.  We are east of Meeker.  Our camps are anywhere frorm 3 miles to 7 miles from the trailhead.

Tags:

This is an over the counter tag for 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons for bull elk.  1st season for elk is a draw but you will draw the tag with zero preference points in our area.  Bear tags are easy to get.  Mule Deer tags are possilbe to draw with zero points as well for 2nd and 3rd season....no deer hunting during the 1st rifle season.

Horse Ride:

We horseback you into an established tent camp...from there you hunt on foot.  The horse ride in our area is vey easy....not rough terrian.  Anyone can make this ride.  Basically your horse will just follow the horse in front of it.

Hunting Area:

We will show you the best areas to hunt from each camp.  Once in camp we will give each hunter a map of the area.  The best areas to hunt will be marked for you.  Our goal is to get you on elk the first day of your hunt.  Most outfitters just drop you off and tell you to go hunt...it can take you several days to find where the elk are and by then half your hunt is over.  We help get you on elk right away to helo your success rate.  

Terrian:

The elevation is anywhere from 7,000 to 9,000 feet depending on the camp.  There is dark timber with aspen trees, open fields and meadows, creeks and several ponds and lakes.  This is a beautiful area to spend a week and hunt.

What is Included:

Once you kill an elk you then call us from your cell phone and we come and  pack your elk out.  You get the elk back to camp or to the horse trail and we will get it from there.  There are pack frames in camp.  In camp there will be one sleep tent and one cook tent.  Included in the camps are sleep cots, tables, chairs, stoves, axe, chainsaw, propane, all cooking supplies and more.  

Not Included:

You buy the hunting license from the state of Colorado.  You bring and cook your own food.  You bring game bags for packing out your meat.  You bring paper plates, plastic forks and spoons and toilet paper.  We will send you a list of recommended hunting gear once you book the hunt.  Tips for your wranglers are appreciated.
