HUNT: Colorado Public Land Rifle Elk Hunt
CONSULTANT: Kyle Hansen, Outdoors International
November, 2019
My friend Dave and I booked through Outdoors International for a guided elk hunt after our state draws proved unsuccessful. Our hunting consultant, Kyle Hanson set us up with an outfitter hunting elk on Colorado public land. Immediately driving into hunting camp, I could tell that these outfitters were professionals; the entire camp was set up, the area was scouted, and the ATV was ready for the hunt. We met our guides: Kevin, Marc, and the camp dog Dottie as we began our hunt that evening.
In the course of three days; I shot a 6×6 herd bull and my buddy shot a 5×5 satellite bull.
We got both the bulls off the mountain with the help of a well-trained pack-string of horses and an ATV. We stayed around camp for an extra day to share some laughs and visit some hot springs to relax. This was my first elk hunt and not only did I shoot a mature bull; my friend punched his tag, we got to enjoy some incredible scenery, and we turned guides into friends.
Kyle with Outdoors International did a phenomenal job of finding us a hunting outfitter that knew the area, knew how to track the elk, and knew how to make guys feel at home. Kyle kept tabs on us for a few months leading up to the hunt to make sure we were ready. What I respected, was that he made sure to question if we were in good enough shape for the hunt, as this was a physically-demanding hunt. As this was fairly last minute, Kyle did a great job of finding us a desirable hunt in a great public land area. Kyle did his job very well with our hunt.
- Overall, my Colorado elk hunt was amazing, I couldn’t have asked for more. Kevin and Marc were great guides that knew, not only how to find the elk but, how to make a hunter feel at home in the mountains. They are professional guides that make sure every detail of the hunt is planned for the best experience.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
