Tallent Outfitters

[Outfitterreview]

Just returned from an elk hunt with Tallent Outfitters. They are based out of Missouri and guide elk 2nd, 3rd, and 4th season in Colorado.Not my type of hunt but went with my aging father who isn’t mobile. Weather was hot. Went 0 for 4. Outfitter claims he’s 85 percent on bulls. He shot 4 during third season out of about 30 hunter’s or more. They were all shot on the BLM land, not his ground. Don’t waste your time renting one of their houses unless you want to watch a truck parade every morning and evening, and some throughout the day. Our cabin was 750 yards from the main lodge and we could hear 3 ankle biter dogs barking in camp. Talked to a guy who was hunting the blm this year who had a cabin last year and never saw an elk last year! So, it wasn’t just the weather. Place is a money grab. The last night one of the outfitter’s buddies drove between the two houses we had rented, stopped got out and shot at a buck. Some of the most rude, inconsiderate, hunters I’ve ever been around on private ground. I felt like I was on public ground. My recommendation is to hunt somewhere else if you are looking for a private land elk hunt.

Where do you guide out of?

I don't know anything about Tallent Outfitters or if what you say is true or not. What stands out to me is why would anyone book a CO elk hunt with an outfitter based in Missouri? I would be very skeptical of any outfitter that is not local.
