Mike Jansen: Colorado Elk Hunt Report

HUNT: Colorado Rifle Elk Hunt
CONSULTANT: Outdoors International

August, 2017

The outfitter did a wonderful job in my 2017 hunt for elk I drew a draw a tag for elk in Colorado. Great trail ride into the elk camp good stock to ride on. I had multiple opportunities to shoot some smaller bull elk I was holding out for 300 class or better bull, Kevin and Chase did an awesome job calling as well as instructing on where to place me on different call in opportunities l had, three different bulls !!

On my hunt I saw elk every day for the week I was hunting I probably saw 100 to 150 elk over the week. Fun hunt.

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.

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!
