Rating an Outfitter

[mxracer317]

Depending on what you wanna spend I’d highly recommend New Mexico jump in the outfitter draw pool and you got pretty decent odds. I’ve only hired one guide we drew tags and decided to go that route I made 3-4 phone calls choice was easy after that

Mind sharing the outfitter?

There is a FB group you might find some info in. non-resident western big game hunters.

Agreed. We’re leaning towards Colorado, but not really sure how things are affected with the way Colorado’s change things around.

What changes are you referring to? Unless you're talking archery OTC, I don't think the proposed draw changes will go into effect until 2028.

I’m not on FB. I’ll have the wifey check it out.

I didn’t know if things are affected for outfitters with recent change proposals is all.

Network with people you know, ask your Taxidermist, Meat Processor, guys at the Gun Store, etc.

If you’re looking at CO one of the best anywhere is out of Grand Junction. Has access to private ranches and tens of thousands of BLM land virtually only accessible through the private in the top unit in state for elk, mulie, lion. Elk is very expensive but you’ll have legitimate chances at a B&C bull. He is not inexpensive but if you want a trophy he’s the guy.

absolutely this. without a doubt your likely best option but it isn't necessarily a 100% guarantee your going hunting next fall unless you want to also get the landowner tag for the unit and stay then with the outfitter that helped you in the draw.

The problem with outfitter reviews is the clientele. Some are just happy to be there, some expect B&C animals behind every bush, some cant walk more than 50 yards without needing to stop and catch their breath, and so on.
