Cow Elk Hunts Colorado

August Cow Elk Hunts Colorado

Our Private Land Only (PLO) Rifle Cow Elk Hunts take place in Mid-Late August in North Central Colorado. PLO (Private Land Only) Cow Elk Hunts provide the opportunity to employ various hunting methods ranging from spot and stalk, stalking on well-used game trails, sitting over large willow-choked river bottoms, and vast fresh-cut hay fields. This hunt requires the client to be in good overall physical condition, to be extremely mobile on foot, or to be patient as we sit and glass for the herds for morning and afternoon hunts. Group sizes range from 4 - 6 hunters, with a 2:1 or 3:1 client/guide ratio. We limit this hunt to 12 spots over a 3-week period. This is a 3-day hunt, which includes meals and lodging.

Private Land Cow Hunts

Mid-Late August RIFLE Cow Elk Hunts are available on our private ranches as part of a partnership with our landowners and Colorado Parks & Wildlife. These hunts are on private land only. They are NOT available anywhere else in the state of Colorado; we have these hunts available in order to help manage the large herds of cow elk that live on our ranches in spring, summer, and fall, harvesting a target of 20 cows each year during this season helps keep these herds from overgrazing the high-country hay fields that make up a good portion of the lower elevations of our ranches. You will be able to hunt 55,000 acres of private land consisting of willow bottoms, hay fields, and sparse-timer flats. These are 0-point draw tags that you can purchase as a leftover tag on most years, they are “Class B Tags”, so you can still purchase or draw your “Class A” Bull license and have twice the meat and twice the fun hunting!!! This hunt is fantastic for young and older hunters as well as both beginners and experienced hunters. August/September RIFLE Cow Elk Hunts are incredible, touting an 85% opportunity rate over the last 5+ years. The meat is delicious! This hunt will allow you to fill your freezer early and save your bull tag for a nice big bull when you can confidently hunt, knowing that your freezer is full of prime organic, non-GMO, late summer cow elk meat. This hunt is just as exciting as any Bull Elk hunt!
