Bugling bulls, crisp autumn mornings, puff of black
powder in the air, the nostalgia of days long past. If this excites you we
have the hunt for you. Black powder licenses are are among one of the most
coveted tags available in Colorado. The combination of rutting bulls and
the exhilaration of hunting with primitive weapons makes for a great hunt.
This is a high success hunt, in not only harvesting animals but, one the
leaves memories that will last a lifetime. Due to the limit availability
of licenses it take years of planning to obtain a license. The reward
still greatly exceeds the time it takes to obtain a license.

UNLIMITED TROPHY

All of our guided black powder hunts are
wilderness pack-in. There is no better way to
 experience
a black powder hunt than by horseback deep in the wilderness. These hunts
take place in Mid-September right in the middle of the rut. Each morning you
leave camp well before day light by horseback and travel to secluded basins
where we are frequently
greeted by bugling bulls. "This is unquestionably one of those hunts where
you can look at several bulls before pulling the trigger". The country is
demanding and the days are long, this is absolutely a hunt that you need to
prepare for. Guided hunts are 2 on 1 unless otherwise stated, I usually do a
large share of guiding on these hunts myself. You will feast on our
renowned home cooked meals, and as with all of our hunts nothing is spared
for your complete comfort and satisfaction. Our guided hunts take place in a
limited license unit so the black powder tags are drawn it a separate
drawing from the state wide licenses. This makes the tags even harder to
get. Right now it takes a minimum of 8 preference points to draw. Black
powder hunts are 8 days with a days travel time on each end of the hunt.
Fee for this hunt is
$3250

This is a
great combination
elk and mule deer hunt. There are also a lot of color phase black
bears, and a private lake full of rainbow and brook trout. Our ranch
also adjoins a large tract of the Uncompahgre National Forest with
the only access through private land. It also adjoins a state
wildlife area. This ranch offers a great hunting opportunity seldom
found today. This hunt has produced several quality animals over the
years, and it just seems to get better each year. You will stay in a
nicely equipped cabin. We developed this hunt as a hybrid of a guided hunt
and a drop camp. You are provided with lodging, 2 home cooked meals, plus
a sack lunch each day, riding horses, tree stands and a guide in
camp to show you the ranch. This hunt allows you the freedom of a
drop camp, to hunt on your own without all the cooking and camp
chores. All you have to do
is concentrate on bagging that big bull. You are outfitted
with everything you need to have a successful hunt. If you like the
challenge of elk hunting on your own with all the extras of a full
service hunt, this is the one for you. These are great elk hunts for the
veteran bowhunter and novice alike.
Fee for this hunt is
$2750 |
