Elk Hunts
We specialize in Colorado elk hunts in the San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests.
Colorado is an elk hunter's dream. It is a rugged, mountainous state and is the only state in the US that is completely above 3200 feet elevation. The eastern side of Colorado has high plains and is rich in farms and ranches. The western side of Colorado is covered by the south part of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado is one of the most mountainous states in the United States which makes for incredible elk hunting. There are more than 50 peaks that are over 14,000 feet or higher above sea level. Those peaks are covered in forests that provide a sanctuary for elk, deer, and other wildlife. Colorado produces more elk than any other state! High Mountain Hunts provides fully guided hunts and will be a two-to-one ratio or one-to-one ratio. We have guides who have hunted this area for years and their knowledge is top-notch. They spend all year in the woods learning the migration and habits of the animals in our units. Guiding and hunting is their passion.

HMH will offer two different lodging options. We can provide you with all the lodging and amenities of home while you are away from home, or we offer a guided hunt where you provide your own lodging and food. Should you choose to stay with us, you will have a hearty breakfast each day prior to heading out to camp as well as a packed lunch to take with you. The only thing you need to focus on is your hunt for the day.
After you get back from a long day of hunting, you will have a hot home-cooked meal waiting for you. Our camp host will make sure you are fed and ready to go! You will have amazing accommodations while you stay with us that will compete with any hotel!
All you need to bring is your personal gear, rifle, ammunition, bow, and arrows. A short list of recommended gear will be provided upon booking.
Our stunning timber frame lodge is located in the heart of beautiful Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Also nearby, you can also enjoy some exceptional post-hunt trout fishing on the banks of the San Juan river.
WOUNDED GAME POLICY
In the event a big game animal is wounded, your hunt is over until the animal is found. Animals that are wounded and get away are considered yours. The outfitter and guides will expend maximum effort in an attempt to recover your animal and will make all final determinations as to the ability of the client to continue hunting if the animal is not recovered.
