As expected, my partner and I didn't draw New Mexico so we are on to our back up plan. Right now we are leaning towards doing a drop camp hunt somewhere in western Colorado with handguns. We've done these before and had everything from a phenomenal experience to a borderline scam.
I'm not asking for honey holes. What I'm looking for is potential outfitters that you know and trust that offer a drop camp hunt in this part of the state.
Typically what we've experienced is an outfitter that takes you 5-10 miles deep, to one of their locations and provide tent, cook stove, etc. We bring our hunting gear, food, bed roll, and a great attitude. Price has usually been around $2500 per person. So, this is what I've got in my head but again, we are open to just about anything except the price of a fully guided hunt.
Specific geographical location is not important - we'll go anywhere. Elk quality - also not important; we are more interested in a great experience and would prefer higher concentration of animals vs. trophy bulls.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
