Colorado
• Mountaineer Outfitters is in a unique part of western CO, the heart of the elk herds wintering range, home to mule deer, black bear, moose, and mountain lion. We hunt public land managed by the BLM.
We hunt elk and mule deer in pinyon-juniper and pockets of sagebrush in lower elevations. Higher elevations are intersperesed with sagebrush, dark timber, and aspen stands. The climate is generally mild compared to other parts of CO. The terrain varies from rolling sagebrush to steep-sided canyons.
Just south in the San Juan Mountains and the Uncompahgre Plateau we hunt mountain lions in heavily forested and a wide variety of terrain: from the spruce, fir, and aspen forests up to 11,000 feet, to the pinyon-juniper woodlands at about 4,800 feet. Weather can vary as widely as the terrain. In these areas there is remote hunting areas accessible by foot, UTV, and horseback.
The terrain in which we hunt is rough, steep, and rocky. Physical training is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
