Semi-Guided
A semi-guided hunt is one of the best values in hunting today. This type of hunt includes transportation, camp, meals, advise and direction; everything but the guide.
Action Adventures will provide transportation for you and your gear to and from camp. You have the option to be picked up in Montrose, Colorado and driven to the trailhead, or meet us there. If you elect to drive to the trailhead, a high clearance four wheel drive vehicle is recommended. Once at the trailhead, you and your gear will be packed into camp on horseback.
Our camps are located within the Uncompahgre Wilderness. Camp is comprised of a wall tent with cots to sleep on, and wood or propane for heat. You will be provided a hot breakfast, a sack lunch with snacks, and a hot dinner.
Camp staff is available to give you advice/pointers/direction on hunting the area. You are left to navigate the hunting area using your own hunting tactics and methods. It is customary to tip camp staff. We recommend setting aside 10% of the cost of your hunt to divide among camp staff.
If you harvest an animal, you are responsible for field dressing the animal and making it ready for transportation. Action Adventures will transport meat and trophy to a taxidermist and meat locker in Montrose, Colorado. The meat can be hung to cool or cut, wrapped, and frozen for you to take home, or ship. Any third-party processing or taxidermy fees are your responsibility.
There is no cellular phone service in our hunting areas. There will be a satellite phone in camp for emergencies.
