WEST ELK WILDERNESS OUTFITTERS - Reg. #2411

HUNT, RIDE, AND ENJOY THE WEST ELK WILDERNESS!

Big Game Hunting in area 54 Gunnison Colorado  The WEST ELK WILDERNESS OUTFITTERS are eagerly anticipating the 2024 season. In recent years our harvest has included a number of bulls scoring over 300" B&C with one bull scoring 342+. Yet, more important was the experience and the fun and adventure of wilderness horseback hunting. Elk hunting is not just our profession, it's our passion! The West Elk Wilderness is aptly named. Wild country and wild elk abound there. We hope you can join us for a good time and a great experience.

Base Camp Guided Hunts - Primitive Luxury The West Elk Camp is located in game management unit 54 in the West Elk Wilderness. The camp is on the Gunnison National Forest and located within designated wilderness boundaries that totally restrict the use of motorized travel and mechanized equipment.

The camp features heavy duty spacious wall tents with wood burning stoves inside for heat, sturdy cots with foam pads and a roomy cook tent where all meals are prepared and served.
