Affordable elk outfitter

[Chain2]

For my money a good outfitter is the key to a great hunt. I pay more , so I can't go as often. But when I go I HUNT. I don't  cook, clean, fetch water, fetch Firewood, wash dishes, fix tents, fix tack, tend horses, chase horses or mules, pack game out, or deal with all the other assorted problems. I have a limited time to go and I want to spend the time hunting. Hunting at 9000-1000 ft above sea level is demanding. After a day in the saddle I'd hate to have to come back to camp and work. Plus I don't have adequate time or resources to scout. In the Bridger we camp about 6 hrs on horseback from the trailhead.  For me a good outfitter is the way to go.

If you want it on the cheap, put in on the draws, get a good tag and go solo.  It's a lot easier to have someone help you on a draw unit.

Honestly if you load up a pack and cover ground, you'll run into elk in Colorado

Kind of an oxymoron isn't it?

Not really, if I only have a tag 2/3 times in my life I/most guys will be more then ok with drawing a map to elk.  There are some draw units you would literally have to try not to run into elk!

Another option is buying a voucher for a good unit.  Honestly in my opinion by far the best bang for the buck.

If I hunt the other otc units most every year.  I worry about people seeing my truck, let alone talk about it online.

Just offering other options to get the most bang for your buck.  Otc and draw hunts are completely different.
