Colorado Trophy Elk & Mule Deer Outfitter & Guide Services
Offering Archery, Rifle, Muzzleloader, Base Lodge & Drop Camp Hunts; Summer Wagon rides and Horseback Historic Tour Rides

Estes Park Outfitters Inc. is the only licensed Colorado Trophy Elk & Mule Deer, Archery & Rifle hunting & guide service located in Unit 20, in Roosevelt National Forest, adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park and in Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.

Our Colorado Elk and Mule Deer hunts are fair chase, private ranch, fully guided Archery, fully guided Rifle and Muzzleloader hunts for trophy Elk and Mule Deer.  We also offer limited, self guided drop camp options in Roosevelt National Forest (rifle & archery) & Indian Peaks Wilderness Area (archery only).

What makes our area unique and a hunter¡¯s paradise is Rocky Mountain National Park which holds one of the largest concentrations of trophy bull Elk in the Rocky Mountain west. The reason for this is the protection offered by the National Park which does not allow hunting within it's 265,000 acres since it's establishment in 1915.  However prior to and during the rut these trophy status bulls wander from the protection of the park into the surrounding areas in search of cows, food and territory.  The opportunity to take a 300+ B&C Colorado Bull Elk with us is very high.

Our Colorado Elk & Mule Deer private ranch hunts offer lodging in a historic, 1895, 3 bedroom log cabin with home cooked meals, beds, bathroom with a shower, satellite TV and easy vehicle access. The lodge sits on approximately 5,000 acres of private property for "right out the door", exclusive hunts nestled in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  These 5000 acres, situated at 8000 ft altitude, feature large open meadows of high mountain grass that draw herds of cow Elk, which in turn draw bull Elk.  Over 100,000 acres of Roosevelt National Forest, encompassing the Indian Peaks Wilderness area, border the eastern & the southern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park and surround the ranch. 

For the Colorado Trophy Elk and Mule Deer "do it yourself" hunter, Estes Park Outfitters Inc. also has established drop camps in remote areas of Roosevelt National Forest and bordering the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.  The Indian Peaks Wilderness Area borders the southern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park.  This area has difficult accessibility.  This means fewer hunters in that area.  All drop camps are fully equipped with everything needed for groups of  2 to 4 hunters per camp, except for food and personal gear .  The Wilderness Area camp is available for Archery Elk, Muzzleloader Elk and 1^st Rifle Elk hunts (weather permitting).  The Roosevelt National Forest drop camps are available for all Archery Elk and early Rifle Elk seasons and Mule Deer hunts.
