Colorado Elk & Mule Deer
The elk capital of the West — fully guided camps in Units 68, 73 & 74.

Colorado Elk & Mule Deer
Colorado is the elk capital of the West, with the largest herds and some over-the-counter tags. We hold special permits in the La Garita Wilderness (Unit 68/681, in the Rio Grande National Forest) and we have late-season BLM permits in Unit 80/81. Whether you are dreaming about an elk or a mule deer on the wall, we have you covered.
In the Durango area on the San Juan National Forest (Units 73 & 74), we hold the only outfitter permit in all of Unit 73. Call us today and let’s line you out on the very best possible trip you’ve been dreaming of.
Choose fully guided drive-in, town-based or wilderness horseback camps for elk and mule deer. Our areas are also trophy mule deer units, from high-country bow hunts to 3rd- and 4th-season rut hunts. Units 68, 79 and 80/81 also have tremendous mule deer hunting throughout the seasons!
