How much does a guided moose hunt cost in Colorado?

Why most of what turns up when you search isn't a moose hunt

Search "moose hunt cost Colorado" and a lot of what comes back is really an elk drop camp that can fill a moose tag as a bonus animal — priced like the elk hunt it is, not the moose hunt it's sold as. The number above counts only packages actually built and sold as moose hunts.

It's also why the outfitter leading the ranking below, Rocky Mountain Outfitters of Colorado, shows up on Google mostly as a fishing guide — trout trips outnumber anything about elk or moose in its reviews. Two more of the six, Capitol Peak Outfitters and Colorado's High Lonesome Outfitter & Guides, read the same way, with horseback rides standing in for hunting talk. All three still carry a real, separately priced moose hunt — a big-game outfitter with a bigger side business isn't a red flag here, it's most of this list.

The one worth calling might not have a price listed

Seven of the packages behind that range carry no published price — Lost Trail Outfitters, a bighorn sheep specialist that also runs a moose hunt, is one of them. On a market this thin, "call for pricing" is close to a third of the real inventory, not a brush-off.

Colorado hasn't published season or licensing detail for any species here yet — check current moose dates and draw rules straight from Colorado Parks & Wildlife before you apply.
