Elk Hunting with Friends
Memories That Last a Lifetime
There’s something special about elk hunting in Colorado, but when you do it with your best friends by your side, it becomes an experience you’ll never forget. At Mountain View Adventures, we see it every season — the laughs, the teamwork, the high-fives, and the shared excitement that make hunting with friends one of the best parts of the whole adventure.
The Journey Is Better Together
From the moment you pack up your gear and hit the road to Colorado, the fun begins. The early mornings, the coffee at camp, and the stories that start flowing before the hunt even begins — those are the moments that set the tone for the trip.
Once you’re out in the field, it’s all teamwork. One friend’s on the glass, another’s calling, and everyone’s helping each other spot movement across the ridge. Every step feels easier when you’ve got your crew beside you.
The Laughter, The Challenge, and The Reward
There will be moments that test you — long hikes, cold mornings, and the kind of climbs that make your legs burn. But when you’re with friends, even the tough parts become fun. You’ll joke, push each other to keep going, and share that unspoken understanding that this is what hunting’s all about.
And when it all comes together — when one of you gets that bull in your sights and the shot rings out — the excitement is contagious. Everyone feels it. Everyone celebrates it. It’s a victory that belongs to the whole group.
Memories That Never Fade
At Mountain View Adventures, we’ve seen hunting groups come back year after year because of the friendships built and strengthened out here. The mountains have a way of bringing people closer — of turning buddies into brothers.
When you’re back at camp after a long day, sitting around the fire, laughing about the day’s close calls or planning the next morning’s stalk, you’ll realize these are the moments you’ll talk about for the rest of your life.

When you hear it echo through the valleys of Colorado, you know you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Book your elk hunt today and experience the advantage of a guided scout — because every great hunt begins long before the first bugle.

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.

When you book a hunt here, you’re not just chasing an elk — you’re chasing the memory of a lifetime.
The Hunt for a Dream Bull
There’s something about Colorado’s wilderness that calls to hunters year after year. The crisp mountain air, the bugles echoing through the timber, and the thrill of spotting a trophy bull through the pines — it’s an experience that never leaves you.
Each hunt is different, but they all share one thing in common: that pulse-pounding moment when you realize you’ve found your bull. Maybe it’s his wide, sweeping rack or the way he bugles back at you from across the ridge. In that instant, everything slows down — the wind, the sounds, even your heartbeat — as you line up for the perfect shot.
And when it’s over, and the bull is on the ground, there’s nothing like it. It’s not just pride — it’s gratitude.
Bringing Home the Rack
For many hunters, the ultimate prize is bringing home the rack — a hard-earned reminder of every step, climb, and decision it took to get there.
Whether you decide on a European mount that highlights the clean lines of the antlers, or a shoulder mount that captures the bull’s power and presence, each option tells a story. Every time you walk past it, you’ll remember the hunt — the mountains, the sound of the bugle, and the feeling of success.
Some hunters display their mount proudly in their living room. Others hang it in the cabin, garage, or office — a symbol of perseverance, patience, and passion.
More Than a Trophy
At Mountain View Adventures, we know that a mount isn’t just about size — it’s about meaning.
It’s about the early mornings before sunrise.
It’s about miles of hiking through rugged terrain.
It’s about the friends and guides who helped make it happen.

Reliving the Hunt
Hanging Your European Mount at Home
For hunters, few moments are as rewarding as bringing home the antlers from a trophy bull elk and proudly displaying them as a European mount. It’s not just a decoration — it’s a symbol of perseverance, skill, and the unforgettable journey through Colorado’s wilderness.
At Mountain View Adventures, we’ve seen hunters experience pure joy, pride, and nostalgia when they finally see their mount displayed in their home.
The Dream Becomes Reality
Every elk hunt begins with anticipation: scouting, hiking, and bugle calls echoing through the mountains. After the shot, tracking, and recovery, you finally have your trophy bull.
The European mount captures the majesty of the bull’s antlers and the elegance of its head and neck in a clean, artistic form. Unlike a full-body mount, it emphasizes the antlers — the crowning achievement of a hunter’s quest.
When you finally see it on your wall, it’s more than a reminder of the hunt — it’s a story frozen in time.
The Emotion of Hanging Your Mount
The moment you hang your mount, emotions run deep:
Pride: Years of preparation and dedication are immortalized in antlers that reflect your skill and patience.
Nostalgia: Memories of the trek, the bugle calls, and the excitement of the shot come rushing back.
Connection: The mount serves as a tangible link to the mountains, the wildlife, and the experience you lived.
Many hunters describe it as a full-circle moment — from scouting the herd to seeing the mount every day, the memory of the hunt is always present.
Displaying Your Trophy
Creating a display that honors your bull is part of the fun. Consider:
Placement: Living rooms, offices, or dens are perfect spots to admire your trophy.
Lighting: Proper lighting highlights the size, symmetry, and detail of the antlers.
Storytelling: Some hunters include photos, maps, or plaques with dates to capture the full story.
A European mount isn’t just art — it’s a conversation starter, a memory keeper, and a personal achievement.
Why Hunters Cherish This Tradition
Displaying a European mount isn’t about bragging — it’s about honoring the hunt and the animal. It’s a way to:
Relive the thrill of the hunt every day
Share the story with family and friends
Inspire others to pursue their own outdoor adventures
For many, the mount becomes a legacy piece, something that can be passed down or remembered for generations.

Hunting Elk on a Snowy Colorado Day
Adventure, Challenge, and Thrills
There’s something magical about the Colorado mountains dusted in fresh snow — crisp air, sparkling ridges, and the silence of the wilderness broken only by the distant bugle of a bull elk. Hunting elk on a snowy day is a true adventure, and at Mountain View Adventures, we make sure every snowy hunt is unforgettable.
Why Snowy Days Are Perfect for Elk Hunting
Snow changes everything — it turns the mountains into a winter wonderland and gives hunters unique advantages:
Tracks Are Easy to Spot: Elk leave clear footprints in the snow, helping you follow their path.
Animals Move Differently: Snow can push elk into lower valleys or meadows, bringing them into view.
Quiet Beauty: The crunch of snow underfoot and the serene surroundings create a thrilling atmosphere unlike any other.
Snowy days are challenging, but the reward — spotting a majestic bull against a backdrop of white — is worth every step.
Tips for Hunting in the Snow
Hunting in snow is a different game. Here’s how to make the most of it:
Dress in Layers: Keep warm without overheating. Wool, fleece, and waterproof outer layers are a must.
Wear the Right Footwear: Waterproof boots with good traction prevent slips and cold feet.
Move Carefully: Snow amplifies sound, so slow and deliberate movements are key.
Use Snow to Your Advantage: Track elk movements and anticipate where they’ll feed or bed.
Pack Smart: Bring hot drinks, snacks, and hand warmers for long treks in the cold.
Mountain View Adventures ensures hunters are fully prepared for snowy hunts with guidance and the right gear.
The Fun of the Snowy Hunt
Let’s be honest — hunting in snow adds an extra layer of excitement:
Adventure Factor: Hiking through powdery trails, crossing streams, and climbing ridges makes every step an accomplishment.
Scenic Rewards: The mountains look straight out of a postcard, making it perfect for memorable photos.
Storytelling Moments: Every snowy track, elk encounter, and bugle becomes a story you’ll retell for years.
Even the challenges — deep snow, cold fingers, and hidden trails — become part of the adventure.
Guided Snow Hunts
Snowy conditions can be tricky, which is why guided hunts are invaluable:
Expert Navigation: Guides know the safest and most productive routes.
Tracking Skills: Snow makes tracking easier for experts, but challenging for beginners — our guides help you interpret every sign.
Safety First: Cold weather and snowy terrain require extra caution, and our team keeps you safe and prepared.

Locate Feeding and Bedding Areas: Walk ridges and meadows where elk travel daily.
Follow Fresh Tracks and Signs: Identifying tracks, droppings, and rubs increases your chances of success.
Stay Flexible: Moving through different elevations and terrain allows you to adapt to elk movement patterns.
The more comfortable you are trekking in the wilderness, the better your chances of a successful hunt.

Trekking through Colorado’s mountains requires preparation and endurance:
Physical Fitness: Long hikes with a pack demand strong legs, core, and stamina.
Gear: Layered clothing, waterproof boots, trekking poles, and a quality backpack are essential.
Safety Equipment: GPS, maps, first aid kits, and bear spray are crucial in remote areas.
Knowledge: Understanding elevation changes, weather patterns, and elk behavior ensures a safer, more productive hunt.
