Estes Park Outfitters Inc. offers three drop camps,
two in a restricted access portion of Roosevelt
National Forest and one in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.
These areas are considered remote and in most cases are only
accessible by horse back or foot traffic only.
Each drop camp consists of 1 or 2 wall tents (16x20
and 16x14), containing cots/with mattress, tables, chairs, lights,
cooking utensils, wood stoves, propane stoves, fire wood, drinking
water, bear proof containers (for food), and a latrine.
Hunters
need to bring personal gear, food and drinks. There is a 100
lb weight restriction per person on personal gear not including
food. Transportation to camp
is by horse drawn wagon or by pack horse depending on the camp.
Each camp will be checked, by radio every day
during the hunt for game that needs to be packed out.
All hunts are 5 days in camp with transportation to and from camp
the day before and the day after. There will be a maximum of
two to four hunters per season, per camp depending on which camp you
choose. The Wilderness Area camp is available for archery,
muzzle and 1st rifle (weather
permitting) and the other camps in Roosevelt National Forest are available for all archery and
early rifle seasons . |
