World-Class Colorado Elk Hunts | J&B Outfitters

Colorado Elk Hunt: 5 Days of Private Land Action

Trip Overview

Alright, hunters - let's talk elk. J&B Outfitters is serving up a primo 5-day elk hunt on private Colorado land that'll get your heart pumping. For $8,500 a pop, you're looking at an all-inclusive package that takes care of the nitty-gritty so you can focus on what matters - putting meat in the freezer. We've got the landowner voucher covered, meaning no hassle with state licenses. Our seasoned guides know these grounds like the back of their hand and they'll make sure you're set up with lodging and transportation from the moment you touch down. Whether you're rolling solo or bringing the whole crew, we can accommodate up to 16 hunters, with a two-guest minimum to keep things interesting. Just remember, spots fill up fast for this world-class hunt, running from September 1st to January 31st.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Listen up, because this is where the rubber meets the road. Our hunting grounds are a mix of wide-open country and pockets of timber that elk love to hunker down in. You'll be glassing rolling hills, sneaking through aspen groves, and maybe even doing some spot-and-stalk in the high country. We're talking about real elk habitat here, not some canned hunt. You'll need to be on your A-game, ready to cover some serious ground. Our guides will clue you in on reading sign, wind direction, and the best glassing spots. Be prepared for some long days, early mornings, and the kind of terrain that separates the weekend warriors from the serious hunters. Bring your best boots and be ready to put some miles on 'em. And don't forget, sometimes the best action happens when you least expect it, so stay alert and keep that rifle ready.

Inside the Hunt

Here's the deal - we're not here to hold your hand, but we are here to set you up for success. Each day starts before the crack of dawn. We'll fuel up with some strong coffee, grab our gear, and head out while the stars are still out. Mornings are prime time for catching elk on the move, so we'll be in position before first light. You might find yourself perched on a hillside, glassing for that tell-tale flicker of an antler in the early morning sun. Or we might be working a drainage, listening for bugles that'll make your hair stand on end. Midday, we might switch gears, still-hunting through the timber or setting up near wallows. As the day cools off, we'll be back at it, looking to ambush bulls as they head to feed. It's a full day of hunting, and when we're not actively pursuing elk, we're scouting, strategizing, and making sure you're in the right spot when opportunity knocks. This ain't a walk in the park - it's a real mountain hunt that'll test your mettle and, with any luck, fill your tag.

Target Game Breakdown

Rocky Mountain Elk are the name of the game here, and let me tell you, there's nothing quite like them. These majestic beasts can tip the scales at over 700 pounds, with antlers that'll make your trophy room look small. During the rut, which typically peaks in September, the woods come alive with bugling bulls. It's a sound that'll stop you in your tracks and get your heart racing. These elk are smart, with keen senses that have been honed over generations of dodging predators. They're most active at dawn and dusk, so that's when we'll be putting in the work. The bulls are territorial during the rut, which can make for some exciting calling opportunities. If we're hunting later in the season, we'll be focusing on migration routes and winter feeding areas. Elk are herd animals, so where there's one, there's often more. The challenge is getting close enough for a clean shot in this open country. But when it all comes together - when you're looking down your scope at a massive bull elk - that's a moment you'll never forget.

Hunter Highlights

Now, I could go on all day about the hunt, but let's hear from some folks who've been there and done it:

"J&B Outfitters delivered on every promise. The private land was teeming with elk, and our guide's knowledge was invaluable. Bagged my first bull on day three - an experience I'll cherish forever." - Mike T.

"Tough hunt, but that's what I came for. The terrain was challenging, but the payoff was worth it. Saw more elk in five days than I have in years of public land hunting. Already booking for next season." - Sarah L.

"Top-notch operation from start to finish. The landowner tag was a huge bonus, and the accommodations were comfortable after long days in the field. Didn't fill my tag, but the number of bulls we saw and called in was incredible." - John R.
