One of the highlights of any wilderness hunting trip is packing in on our four legged friends, horses and mules. The Native Americans, Spanish, Mongols, and early Americans, tamed and conquered the uncharted nooks and crannies of our planet by being expert packers and horsemen. Your wilderness hunt gives you the opportunity to experience this...

A quick reminder that the draw deadline for Colorado is less than a month away. If you are already booked and need some help with the application, just give us a ring. For all hunters focused only on bull elk for 2nd and 3rd season, those tags are over-the-counter so you have nothing to worry...

Every year guests ask us about physical fitness and our high elevation wilderness hunts. It’s an easy question to answer.
