Mike Newman — bull elk bow hunt in aspen forest (Colorado, 2016)

Mike Newman: Colorado High Fence Elk Hunt Report

Colorado High Fence Elk Hunt

I would highly recommend this trip especially if you’re older or not in the best of health simply because they take care of everything. One thing to remember is this is a high fence hunt which may not appeal to some.

The first evening while setting at a waterhole the guide called in a nice bull that I took at 30yds. In hindsight I should have hunted longer and been a bit more selective. They got the bull out and completely took care of it. Doesn’t get any easier.

The cabin was beautiful and the food was great. They also took us fly fishing for rainbow trout.

We're looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter.

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!
