Elk hunting on your own in Southwest Colorado may not be for everyone, but for those who can locate, track and call big game critters, an elk hunting drop camp will be very rewarding. Your Colorado elk hunt will begin when we pack the horses at our trailhead, and get you suited with a good trail horse for the ride to camp. Your Colorado drop camp is well equipped with everything you'll need, so your quest for Colorado elk and mule deer can begin as soon as we get to camp.

Colorado elk archery is one of the most challenging and rewarding hunts that is available to those who are in shape and ready to work hard at their Colorado elk hunting archery success. Many hunters want to know "success rates" for elk archery drop camps, and we think this is mostly how well a hunter can work and strategize, with factors of terrain, wind, scent, and their own energy level. These Colorado elk are tough, smart, and in great shape, used to running the Colorado Mountains to avoid predation.

Colorado elk hunting and Colorado mule deer hunting is at its best from late August through late September when the weather starts to cool and the nights get longer. Colorado elk archery and Colorado mule deer archery are exciting big game hunting quests and are affordable drop camps. Mild days and crisp Rocky Mountain nights cause the elk rut to go full throttle. The exquisite fall colors will ignite your senses. Either sex Colorado elk archery tags can be purchased over the counter for game units 75 and 751 in which we operate Colorado archery elk drop camps.

Colorado archery mule deer tags are limited and obtained by drawing. Colorado archery mule deer drop camps are rewarding for any hunter, and can suffice for many as the only Colorado big game archery hunt to participate in. Drawing deadline for limited tags is early April. You should book your hunt early as Colorado archery elk outfitters get booked early. We have plenty of big Colorado elk and Colorado mule deer in our archery drop camp area in the San Juan National Forest near Durango.

Colorado elk rifle drop camps are an affordable elk drop camp, and very productive for putting meat in the freezer. Many of our rifle elk are taken at distances of less than 200 yards, but the hunter who can shoot well may enjoy the chance of shooting their Colorado bull elk at 400 to 600 yards.

Don't worry about where you shoot your Colorado elk or Colorado mule deer, we'll pack it from the kill site, and haul it to the processor for custom meat processing or hang it in their coolers for you to take home and process yourself.

The First Rifle Season starts around Mid-October and is a limited draw season. Apply Early! This is a fantastic time to hunt since the elk haven't seen much pressure from hunters.

The Second Rifle Season begins near the end of October, when snowfalls a probable occurrence. The snow that falls in the High Country gets the elk moving. Seeing large herds moving about becomes more likely. Second Rifle Season tags are unlimited and available over the counter at numerous retailers.

The Third Rifle Season is a great season because snow is very likely to fall in substantial amounts. This really gets the elk and mule deer moving and makes them easier to track.

The Fourth Season is limited draw only in same GMU075 & 751.During Fourth rifle Season elk are moving through our area from higher elevations to escape the snow and to find more abundant food sources, this is a productive season in early November, but dress warm, if it is cold enough to move elk you will need significant clothing to keep warm.

Your Colorado elk and mule deer hunt will begin with your party meeting us at our trailhead which originates on private property in the midst of the San Juan National Forest. We'll ride approximately two hours to arrive in good elk and mule deer habitat where you'll be hunting right out of the camp.
