Hunting Tips

So come enjoy a hunt that has been personalized for you. Watch a cow elk eating acorns on an early frosty morning; strategize on how to take your trophy bull; take time out to fish for trout. You can’t surpass Colorado in the fall. When you look down the Williams Fork Valley from a mountain top, it looks almost as it did 100 years ago. Discover the Knife Blade, where Pine Pocket is, walk down Porcupine Ridge. Step back in time, back to the old West.  Come hunt where we live.      

Our hunts focus on where the deer or elk are moving. Since we are adjacent to the flattops there is always elk movement. Sight in for elk on a 100 yard target about to inches high which will likely put you dead on at 200 yards. Most of your shots will be 100 to 300 yards. If you can practice shooting at 300 yards it will help you shoot better at any yardage. This is the best way to make the 90% opportunity into 100% success! The guide can put elk in front of you but if you can’t shoot well enough it will do no good.

Most of our hunts are 5 day hunts for Bull elk.

The 5 day hunt with meals and lodging is only $2995
