Colorado Elk hunting units

We offer fully guided hunts and drop camps in the back country of south-west Colorado near Creede and South Fork in the San Luis Valley. Big Country Outfitters have prime hunting country in units 76 (trophy unit), 79, and 80. Some of our camps are accessible by 4-wheel drive and some camps we pack in on horseback. How we get there all depends on the location and the weather conditions.

Our success rate in unit 76 (trophy unit) is 92% for all rifle seasons with 100% of our fully guided unit 76 rifle hunters having had multiple opportunities on legal bull elk in the past.

Big Country Outfitting has recently added additional terrain in unit 80 that has historically had an 85% success rate for fully guided hunters.

The picture below shows an average bull that was taken out of unit 80 in 2012. Trophy bulls of the dimensions shown on the rest of the site were taken out of unit 76. Large trophy elk can be taken from unit 80, however to live that long they have lived a mostly nocturnal life and are hard to get an opportunity on.
