Drop camp southern Colorado recommendations

[Widerd]

Either this season or next, I will be headed back to Colorado for elk, first rifle. Does anyone have a recommendation for a drop camp outfitter in 77 or 751 wilderness area? We will have our own light camping gear, I’m just wanting a ride in and out. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Coloradooutfitters.org is a great starting point, everyone on there is vetted and guaranteed to be licensed bonded insured and permitted which takes a huge hassle out of you of making sure the outfitter is legal.

I will say some outfitters don’t do “spike camps” (your gear to your spot) or they have rules of where they will take you compared to their outfitters camps.

I will say you are a little late on getting booked for the 2026 season, but making some calls doesn’t hurt. Just make sure you follow the laws for hiring an outfitter, hiring an illegal outfitter will hit you hard if you’re caught. That will come from both CPW and BLM/USFS.

You will need to know where you want to go within the unit and that will also determine which outfitter you can use, some are permitted in entire units, some are permitted in certain areas of a unit.

so, not everyone gets on here everyday to post.

he has been around a LOT longer than 2024.

Ya, I’m a quiet one who hasn’t been around much. It’s been so long my PMs are locked lol.

I usually do a search for information before posting. So much information is repeated over and over, but this is a question that the most current information is helpful. Plus I get advice on how to do it legal and avoid pitfalls.

Thanks to everyone who is being helpful. I’d look up how many posts he has, but I really don’t care that much haha.

Not dissing the man for getting info. He asked aquestion about a specific area without burning it. Was polite, clear, and concise. My surprise comes from the actual courteous response. Usually it seems like the FNG haters are waiting and ready for questions like this for the spite talk. Sorry if mine was taken that way.

Thats funny because everytime someone asks for a budget hunting rifle and i suggest a $450 glenfield model A rifle, the big money gear cry babies come out of the wood work and tell me i should not say anything if i dont say something they want me to say.

Pretty familiar with a range of outfitters in southern Colorado. A few of them offer drop trip services, mountain Uber type stuff. What’s your comfort level on a horse? How long can you ride? How easily do you get nervous?

 

[Widerd]

All of my crew can ride. I used to take my own horses but got tired of feeding them. I don’t consider any of us to be particularly nervous riders.

I’m just used to DIY. I’m not looking for a guide, an Uber with a good lay of the land is exactly what we are looking for.
