Colorado Elk Hunting

That Moment You Finally Get Your Hands on Your Elk

All the miles. All the glassing. All the early mornings and cold, quiet hikes through the Colorado mountains… they all lead up to this. You finally found your bull — and now, you’re standing over him, hands on your elk for the very first time.

There’s nothing quite like it. That mix of pride, relief, and pure gratitude is something every hunter knows deep down. You feel the weight of the hunt — the challenge, the patience, the respect for the animal, and the land that made it all possible.

At Mountain View Adventures, we live for this exact moment. The one where it all comes together, where effort turns into achievement, and every second of the journey suddenly makes sense.

The Reward After the Challenge

Elk hunting in Colorado isn’t easy. It takes grit, focus, and a love for the chase. But that’s what makes this moment so powerful. When your hands touch that rack, it’s not just about the trophy — it’s about what it took to earn it.

The cold air, the steep climbs, the snow crunching under your boots — it all fades into one unforgettable feeling of accomplishment.

A Moment You’ll Never Forget

Every hunter remembers their first elk — and every one after. The photos, the handshakes, the shared excitement with your guide and buddies… it’s something you’ll talk about for years.

And when you hang that mount on your wall, you’ll be right back in that moment — standing in the Colorado mountains, hands on your elk, realizing you did it.

At Mountain View Adventures, we’re proud to help hunters experience that feeling. Because once you do, you’ll never be the same.
