I have been a CO resident for 10 years and been doing public land hunts... 0% success rate for elk or deer. Finally breaking down next year and hoping to do a guided trip preferably on private land. Anyone have personal recommendations for a guide/outfitter service? I don't feel comfortable paying that much money based on online reviews only, so looking for 1st hand experience. ----Looking for likely 2 hunters, 1 guide. My hunting partner and myself are late 30s and fit, but not looking to do 20 miles a day in rough terrain. Prefer a lodge/cabin style accommodations over wall tent camping. Don't care about getting a monster elk or trophy class or anything, just want a good animal and a good time! I've got 6 deer and 9 elk pref points if that matters. Rifle hunting only! Prefer combined deer and elk hunt if possible.
Thanks in advance!
