6 Hunt Packages
5-Day Guided Black Bear Hunt
We offer many options for bear in many states. Most hunting is done using great, trained hounds; but we also have Colorado spots and stalk options as well. We have a very high success rate producing many huge color phased bears. Give us a call to see if we can customize a bear hunt in the location and method you desire.
5-Day Guided Elk Hunt
We offer Colorado Elk hunts using bow, muzzleloader, and rifle. Our bulls are not huge, but we have a good population of elk and lots of opportunity. It is a great hunt for a first time elk hunter or a hunter who just wishes to hunt elk every year and is not so worried about giant bulls. You will see plenty of elk and have an amazing hunt out of a beautiful lodge. If your desire is to kill a big trophy bull, we can help you. We guide in many trophy units and also guide in the Gila Wilderness in southern New Mexico for world renowned trophy bulls. Please contact us and will will customize a package to fit your needs.
5-Day Guided Mountain Lion Hunt
With near 100% success over many years, our lion hunts are a great adventure for one of the most elusive predators in the west. Our hunts are five days and are conducted in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico using some of the best hounds around. We pride ourselves on being able to catch and produce lion in all conditions. This is a hunt that you just have to try once to know how fun and exciting it can be. There is nothing better than walking into a big tom lion bayed on a cliff surrounded by some of the hardest working dogs a man could ask for.
5-Day Guided Mule Deer Hunt
Our western Colorado mule deer hunts are operated in some of the best units in the state and have great trophy potential. We really enjoy hunting for big bucks with clients that have a realistic goal of killing a nice mule deer buck for the wall. 200” deer are not behind every tree, and hunting big mule deer bucks takes patience and dedication. If hunting a nice mule deer buck with a bow or rifle is on your bucket list, get with us to start applying for some of our units. You will need preference points to draw our units or will have to be willing to purchase a landowner voucher to be able to hunt.
Guided Bighorn Sheep or Mountain Goat Hunt
We have a passion to sheep and goat hunt mainly because how difficult the hunts can be. I guess you can say we crave the pain and physical demand it takes to get into sheep and goat country to kill the OLDEST billy or ram on the mountain. If you would like help applying for a sheep unit, please contact us. We also have been a part of many governor tag hunts in many western states. We love to chase old rams and billies!
Guided Pronghorn Antelope Hunt
Needle Rock Outfitters offers antelope hunts.
