Hunting Elk In Colorado
By the End of Your Elk Hunt — You’ll Be Tired, and That’s the Point
Let’s be honest — elk hunting in Colorado isn’t easy. It’s long hikes, early mornings, steep climbs, and cold air biting at your face. By the end of your hunt with Mountain View Adventures, you’ll be worn out, sore, and probably ready for a long nap. But that’s what makes it one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
The Work That Makes It Worth It
Every hunter who’s chased elk through the Colorado mountains knows the truth — if you’re not tired, you didn’t hunt hard enough. The climbs are steep, the air is thin, and every step takes grit. You’ll cover miles of rugged country, glass for hours, and push through weather that tests your limits.
But when that moment finally comes — when you see your bull, make the shot, and finally get your hands on him — it all hits you. The exhaustion fades, replaced by pride and pure gratitude. You did it. You earned it.
The Humbling Side of the Hunt
There’s something deeply humbling about elk hunting. The mountains don’t hand out easy success — they make you work for it. You’ll sweat, ache, and push through moments when you think you can’t go any farther. And that’s exactly why the victory feels so sweet.
At Mountain View Adventures, we’ve seen it all — tired hunters with smiles bigger than ever, laughing around the dinner table, swapping stories about close calls and long hikes. That’s the spirit of elk hunting: tough, honest work that fills your heart in a way nothing else can.
You’ll Leave Tired — But Fulfilled
When your hunt is over and you’re heading back to the truck, you’ll feel every muscle — but you’ll also feel something even stronger: pride. You’ll know you gave it your all. You’ll remember the climbs, the cold mornings, the view from the ridge, and that final shot that made it all worth it.
At Mountain View Adventures, we don’t just promise a hunt — we promise an experience that tests you, humbles you, and stays with you forever.

Where Adventure Meets Tradition
There’s a reason elk hunting in Colorado sits at the top of every hunter’s bucket list. The crisp air, the echoing bugles, and the sheer beauty of the mountains create an experience that’s impossible to forget. At Mountain View Adventures, every hunt is more than just a chance to tag a bull — it’s a chance to live a story you’ll tell for years to come.
The Sound That Starts It All
There’s nothing like the sound of a bull elk bugling through the morning fog. It stops you in your tracks. Your heart pounds, your breath slows, and for a moment, time stands still. That sound is the call of the wild — and it’s why we hunt.
When you hear it echo through the valleys of Colorado, you know you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
The Challenge of the Hunt
Elk hunting isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes endurance, patience, and determination. The terrain is rugged, the weather unpredictable, and the elk are always one step ahead. But that’s what makes it so rewarding.
At Mountain View Adventures, our expert guides are with you every step of the way — calling, tracking, and reading the land to put you in the right place at the right time. Whether you’re hiking through snow, glassing from a ridge, or sneaking through timber, every moment builds toward that one shot you’ll never forget.
More Than a Tag — It’s an Experience
Hunting elk in Colorado is about more than filling a tag. It’s about the sun rising over the mountains, the smell of pine, the laughter back at camp, and the satisfaction that comes from earning every inch of the hunt.
It’s about stepping away from the noise of everyday life and reconnecting with something real — nature, challenge, and adventure.
Join Us for the Hunt of a Lifetime
At Mountain View Adventures, we make every elk hunt personal. Our goal is simple: to give you the best hunting experience possible, surrounded by people who love what they do and a landscape that never stops amazing you.
So whether it’s your first elk or your next trophy bull, let your Colorado adventure start here.
Why Colorado is the Ultimate State for Elk, Deer, and Bear Hunting

When it comes to hunting, Colorado truly has it all. From trophy elk bugling across the ridges to massive mule deer moving through the valleys — and even black bears roaming the timber — this state offers every hunter a chance at the adventure of a lifetime. At Mountain View Adventures, we’re lucky to call this paradise home.
Elk — The King of the Colorado Mountains
Colorado is known for having the largest elk population in North America, and that’s exactly why hunters travel here from all over the country. The mix of rugged ridges, open meadows, and dense timber creates the perfect habitat for elk to thrive — and the perfect challenge for hunters who crave excitement.
Whether it’s archery season in the fall, rifle season in the snow, or muzzleloader hunts in between, elk hunting in Colorado is as thrilling as it gets. Every bugle echoing across the valley sends chills down your spine, and every hunt with Mountain View Adventures brings you closer to the bull of your dreams.
Deer — The Quiet Challenge
Colorado mule deer hunts are just as rewarding. With wide-open country and steep hillsides, these hunts combine patience, precision, and persistence. Our guided and semi-guided deer hunts offer the chance to chase trophy bucks in some of the most beautiful terrain you’ll ever see.
Every sighting, every careful step through the timber, and every moment spent glassing the ridges builds the story you’ll tell for years — and with Mountain View Adventures, you’ll have a guide who knows exactly where those big bucks like to hide.
Bear — The Ultimate Test of Instinct and Skill
If you’re ready to take your hunt to the next level, a bear hunt in Colorado is a challenge unlike any other. These hunts combine patience, precision, and pure adrenaline. You’ll track signs, watch the wind, and wait for your chance — and when it comes, it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
Colorado’s black bears roam the same wild country as elk and deer, and spotting one in the wild is as thrilling as it gets. Our guides know the terrain, the behavior, and the perfect strategies to put you in position for success.

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.

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

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.

Elk Hunting in Colorado with the Snow Melting Away
There’s something special about hunting elk in Colorado when the snow starts to melt. The crisp air still holds that mountain chill, but the sun begins to warm your back as you trek through the rugged terrain. Patches of green peek through the melting snow, elk tracks appear fresh and clear, and every step feels like a new start to the season.
At Mountain View Adventures, these are the moments we live for — when the mountains come alive again and hunters get a front-row seat to nature waking up. It’s peaceful, it’s powerful, and it’s the kind of beauty that only Colorado can offer.
The Perfect Time to Spot Elk
When the snow begins to melt, elk start moving lower in elevation to feed on the first new grasses of the season. It’s one of the best times to track them — following trails that cut through soft mud and fresh snow, listening for that familiar sound of branches breaking in the distance.
The mix of cold air and sunlight creates perfect hunting conditions, and every turn through the trees feels full of promise. Whether it’s your first elk hunt or your fiftieth, this time of year never loses its magic.
The Experience of a Lifetime
There’s no rush like shouldering your pack and hiking through the quiet mountain slopes, watching steam rise from the warming ground. It’s the kind of hunt that humbles you — the kind that makes you appreciate every bit of hard work, every frozen morning, and every mile hiked.
At Mountain View Adventures, we’re proud to share those experiences with hunters from all over the country. When you join us, you’re not just hunting — you’re making memories you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life.

The Humbling Experience of a Colorado Elk Hunt
Tired, But Fulfilled
Elk hunting in Colorado is more than just a hobby — it’s an adventure that challenges your body, mind, and spirit. At Mountain View Adventures, hunters leave the mountains exhausted, sore, and tired — but in a way that leaves them feeling truly fulfilled.
The Physical Challenge
Colorado’s mountains are rugged, with steep ridges, dense forests, and long hiking trails. A single day of hunting can test even the fittest hunter. Backpacking gear, navigating snow or uneven terrain, and staying alert while tracking elk requires stamina, focus, and determination.
By the end of a hunt, you’ll feel it in your muscles, your legs, and even your lungs — but that fatigue comes with a sense of accomplishment that few other experiences can match.
The Mental Game
Hunting isn’t just physical; it’s a mental challenge as well. Staying patient, alert, and quiet for hours, waiting for the right moment to approach a bull, teaches focus and discipline. You learn to read the land, anticipate elk movement, and trust your instincts — all while immersed in the beautiful, humbling Colorado wilderness.
Even when you’re tired, every step feels purposeful, and every moment becomes a lesson in perseverance.
Humbling and Rewarding
Hunting in the mountains reminds you that you are part of something bigger. The landscape, the wildlife, and the challenge of the hunt all combine to create a humbling experience. You may be tired, but the reward of harvesting your elk, spotting a trophy bull, or even just soaking in the view makes every step worth it.
Hunters leave Mountain View Adventures with more than just an animal in the field — they leave with stories, memories, and a renewed sense of respect for the wilderness and their own abilities.
A Feeling You’ll Never Forget
The exhaustion after a Colorado elk hunt is paired with pride, joy, and awe. Hiking back to the cabin, carrying your harvest, and reflecting on the day’s experiences is a moment unlike any other. It’s the perfect mix of challenge, achievement, and connection to nature.

Elk Hunting in Colorado

Sunrises That Take Your Breath Away
There’s something magical about starting your elk hunt in Colorado’s mountains. Before the bugles sound and the hunt begins, the sky comes alive with colors that only nature can create. At Mountain View Adventures, every morning brings a sunrise that sets the tone for a day of adventure, anticipation, and unforgettable memories.
The Calm Before the Hunt
Before the crisp mountain air fills your lungs and the first elk bugles echo across the ridges, there’s a quiet moment. The world is still. The sky gradually shifts from dark blue to brilliant pinks, oranges, and golds. Every hunter knows this moment — standing on a ridge or beside the cabin, taking it all in — is a privilege few get to experience.
Colorado’s sunrises are more than just beautiful; they are a signal that the hunt is about to begin. The mountains glow with promise, and the anticipation of what the day may hold makes every moment feel alive.
The Sky Comes Alive
As the sun climbs above the peaks, the valleys light up in golden hues. Mist rises from the timber, highlighting the contours of the mountains. Elk begin to move, their bugles carrying across the valleys, and every step you take feels guided by the breathtaking scenery around you.
Whether you’re hiking to your stand, glassing from a ridge, or following your guide along a trail, the sunrise provides a stunning backdrop to the adventure. It’s impossible not to feel inspired by the grandeur of the Colorado wilderness at this hour.
A Moment to Remember
Every sunrise on a Colorado elk hunt is a memory in itself. Hunters often pause, cameras in hand or simply soaking in the view, knowing that this is a moment they’ll carry forever.

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.

The Key to Your Elk Hunt Victory

Scouting for Success
Every successful elk hunt starts long before the first shot is fired. It begins with scouting — understanding the land, the elk’s patterns, and the perfect spot to make your move. At Mountain View Adventures, our guides take scouting seriously because we know that preparation is everything when it comes to turning your hunt into a victory.
The Art of Scouting
Scouting isn’t just walking through the mountains — it’s reading the terrain, noticing subtle signs, and learning the habits of the elk. Tracks in the snow, fresh rubs on trees, and the sound of distant bugles all tell a story. Our experienced guides know exactly what to look for, giving you a significant advantage once the hunt begins.
Every ridge climbed, every valley surveyed, and every observation made during scouting sets the stage for success. The goal isn’t just to find elk — it’s to set you up for the hunt of a lifetime.
Guided Expertise Makes the Difference
Mountain View Adventures hunters benefit from years of local knowledge. Our guides scout with purpose, ensuring that every day in the field counts. They know where bulls are likely to be feeding, how to approach them without spooking the herd, and which vantage points provide the best opportunity for a shot.
Scouting with a guide isn’t just about location — it’s about strategy. Knowing the lay of the land, the travel corridors elk use, and the rut patterns gives you the edge you need to experience a successful hunt.
The Reward of Preparation
There’s nothing more satisfying than watching a well-planned hunt unfold. When you’ve scouted with care, every step of the hunt feels intentional. You move with confidence, make calculated decisions, and know that the opportunity in front of you is the result of preparation and expertise.
And when that moment comes — spotting your bull, drawing your bow, or taking the perfect shot — you’ll realize how much the scouting paid off. It’s the difference between a memorable hunt and a truly legendary experience.
Make Your Hunt a Victory
At Mountain View Adventures, we believe that scouting is the foundation of every successful elk hunt. By combining local knowledge, expert guidance, and careful preparation, we set our hunters up for the thrill of the chase and the ultimate reward: a successful harvest, a trophy to remember, and a story to tell for a lifetime.

The Moment You Walk Up to Your Bull

Every elk hunter dreams about it — the moment when the hunt ends, and you finally walk up to the bull you’ve been pursuing. It’s a mixture of excitement, respect, and pure awe. At Mountain View Adventures, we’ve seen hunters’ hearts race, hands shake, and smiles stretch ear to ear when that moment arrives.
Anticipation Builds
The trek to find your bull after the shot is a combination of adrenaline and reverence. Every step through the mountains, every glance down the ridge, keeps your mind sharp and your heart racing. The anticipation is almost unbearable — you know the reward is close, but the mountains remind you that nothing is easy in Colorado.
A Humbling Experience
When you finally see him — the bull you’ve tracked, hunted, and earned — it’s humbling. You feel the weight of the journey: the early mornings, the miles hiked, the patience and skill it took to reach this point. Standing over him, you can’t help but feel gratitude for the animal, the land, and the opportunity to experience the hunt in its purest form.
Whether you’re admiring a massive rack for a European mount or preparing to harvest meat for your family, this is a moment that goes beyond trophies. It’s about respect for nature and the understanding that hunting is a privilege.
Celebration Meets Reflection
In that instant, emotions hit all at once. Pride, joy, and relief collide with quiet reflection. You’ve earned this — through effort, skill, and patience. For many hunters, it’s a memory that will never fade: the cool mountain air, the sound of the wind through the trees, the sight of your bull lying majestically at your feet.
Taking Home More Than a Bull
Every elk taken at Mountain View Adventures leaves hunters with more than meat or antlers. They take home memories of the hunt, stories to tell, and the deep satisfaction that comes from completing a challenging and rewarding pursuit. This is why hunters return year after year — for the thrill, the challenge, and the profound sense of accomplishment.

Chasing Your Dream Bull
There’s a moment every hunter dreams about — seeing your dream bull standing tall in the Colorado wilderness. The morning sun glinting off his massive rack, the mountains stretching endlessly behind him, and the thrill building as you prepare for the perfect shot. At Mountain View Adventures, that moment isn’t just a dream — it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
The Pursuit of the Perfect Bull
Elk hunting in Colorado is as much about patience as it is skill. Each step through the timber, every careful glance across a ridge, and each bugle echoing through the valley heightens the anticipation. It’s a game of strategy, respect, and awareness.
When that bull finally steps into view, every decision you’ve made leading up to that moment matters. The shot is more than a test of aim — it’s the culmination of your preparation, your patience, and your connection to the land.
Backpacking Your Trophy
After the harvest comes the challenge and reward of packing out your bull. Every step carries a sense of accomplishment and humility — knowing the effort it took to get here, and the respect you owe the animal you just harvested. Whether it’s for a European mount to display the majesty of your bull or meat to feed your family, each moment is profound.
Backpacking your elk through the mountains is exhausting, yes, but the view from the ridge, the crisp Colorado air, and the knowledge that you earned every pound make it unforgettable.
Providing for Your Family
There’s a deep sense of fulfillment in harvesting your own meat. Every meal prepared from your hunt is more than just food — it’s a story, a memory, and a connection to the wilderness. Sitting around the table with family, sharing a meal you worked so hard to provide, is humbling and rewarding in a way nothing else can match.
Hunting at Mountain View Adventures allows you to do it all: experience the thrill of the hunt, earn your trophy, and provide for your loved ones — all while surrounded by some of the most stunning landscapes in Colorado.
A Humbling Experience
Elk hunting in the mountains isn’t just a sport — it’s a lesson in respect, patience, and humility. Every hunt challenges your body, sharpens your mind, and deepens your appreciation for nature. And when you finally take that moment to admire your bull, pack out your harvest, or hang your European mount, it’s a reminder that this isn’t just about the trophy — it’s about the journey.
Every time you return to the mountains with Mountain View Adventures, you’ll leave with more than meat and mounts. You’ll leave with memories, gratitude, and a story that will last a lifetime.
