Getting Your Elk Hide

The Reward of the Hunt

There’s a moment every hunter remembers — the instant after taking down your first elk, when you approach the animal and begin the process of harvesting it. One of the most memorable parts of that experience is getting the hide. It’s more than just a step in processing your harvest — it’s a connection to the animal, the land, and the entire hunt.

A Moment of Respect and Reflection

Walking up to your elk after the shot is humbling. The adrenaline of the hunt slowly settles, leaving space for gratitude. Handling the hide is a tangible way to honor the animal and acknowledge the effort it took to reach this point. It’s a reminder of the patience, preparation, and respect required in every great hunt.

Whether you plan to mount your bull for a European mount or simply keep the hide as a lasting memento, this step connects you to the wilderness and the tradition of hunting in a way nothing else can.

Learning the Process

At Mountain View Adventures, we guide hunters through every part of the harvest — including how to properly handle and care for the hide. Our experienced guides teach techniques that ensure the hide is preserved perfectly for tanning or mounting.

This is more than just a skill — it’s part of the story of your hunt. Every cut, every careful movement, reflects the effort, respect, and pride of harvesting your own elk.

A Keepsake That Lasts a Lifetime

The hide becomes more than material — it becomes a memory. Every time you look at it, you’ll recall the crisp mountain air, the sound of bugles echoing through the timber, and the thrill of your first bull. It’s a tangible reminder of the adventure, challenge, and accomplishment of your hunt with Mountain View Adventures.

Harvesting your hide is one of those moments that makes you pause and reflect on the journey — from scouting and tracking to taking the shot and backpacking your trophy. It’s a celebration of the hunt and everything that comes with it.

Preserve the Memory

Every elk taken with Mountain View Adventures offers more than meat or antlers. The hide, properly prepared, keeps the story of your hunt alive for years to come. It’s a piece of Colorado’s wilderness you get to take home, a lasting memory of a first bull and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Book your next elk hunt today and experience the full circle of the hunt — from the thrill of the chase to the satisfaction of harvesting and preserving your first elk hide.
