Lining Up the Shot

The air is still. The only sound is your breath, slow and steady, mixing with the cold Colorado air. Snowflakes drift around you as you drop to one knee, setting up your tripod. Your hands are cold, your heart’s racing — and there he is. A massive bull elk standing broadside in the middle of a white, silent mountain morning.

At Mountain View Adventures, these are the moments that define elk hunting in Colorado. The kind that make every frozen toe, every early morning, and every mile hiked absolutely worth it.

Precision, Patience, and the Perfect Shot

You take your time. Adjust your scope. Breathe. Line up the crosshairs and let the world fall quiet. There’s something about a snow-covered hunt that makes everything feel sharper — every movement more deliberate, every second more meaningful.

The snow sparkles under the morning light, your bull turns just enough, and you know this is your shot. It’s the kind of moment that lives forever in a hunter’s mind — that perfect balance of calm and adrenaline.

A Hunt You’ll Never Forget

When you finally pull that trigger and the echo rolls through the mountains, you know you’ve just created a memory you’ll never forget. The feeling hits hard — respect, pride, and pure gratitude for the hunt.

Hunting elk in the Colorado snow is something every hunter should experience once in their lifetime. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s why we do what we do here at Mountain View Adventures.
