Any Interest in a Drop Camp Elk Hunt? - 03/02/14 03:10 PM
Anyone interested in a drop camp archery elk hunt in Colorado? I used Eagle Mountain Outfitters two years ago and had a great trip. I was planning a DIY hunt this year and I ran into the outfitter yesterday and am now thinking I will make a return trip with him.
If you are interested in learning more drop me an email and I provide details. The cost of the hunt is the most often asked question. The drop camp is $1350, which includes John taking us from base camp north of Gunnison in the West Elks Wilderness area to one of his drop camps. Camp includes a tent, cots, propane light and stove and a radio. He drops us off and comes back to pick us up on the last day. He will pack out game at no additional cost. License for non-resident runs about $550. Other cost includes transportation to base camp, the guys that went with me two years ago drove to my house near OKC, spent the night in our guesthouse and we loaded up early the next morning and drove to Gunnison. We then spent one night in a hotel in Gunnison. We pre-cooked all our food so we only had to heat up each meal in camp.
Dates are TBD (September), depending on dates hunters are interested and dates outfitter has open. Hunts are 5 or 6 days with one day up the mountain and one day off. If you are interested drop me a PM and I will send you my phone number, we can talk or ask questions here, and I will attempt to answer.
