Rocky Mountain Elk
A classic Colorado big game hunt based in Gunnison country, offering access to both premier trophy elk opportunities and quality general hunts. Trophy-focused hunts take place in renowned Unit 67, known for producing mature bulls, while standard hunts are conducted in Unit 55. Hunts operate out of either a comfortable base camp or in-town lodging depending on the time of year and season conditions. Opportunities include archery hunts during the rut, as well as rifle and muzzleloader seasons, delivering a true Western experience in one of Colorado’s most respected elk regions.
