The Hunt

Elk Hunting

Middle Creek Outfitters offers a classic Western elk hunting experience built around horseback access, backcountry camps, lodge accommodations, and guided or self-guided options. Whether you chase elk during archery season or head into the mountains with a rifle, there are several ways to experience Colorado elk country.

Horseback camp hunts offer the traditional backcountry experience — using horses to travel through rugged mountain terrain and establish a base closer to the country you'll cover each day. Lodge hunts give you a comfortable home base to return to after a hard day in the field. And experienced hunters who want more independence can take a self-guided horseback camp or lodge package, using Middle Creek's infrastructure while handling the hunt themselves.
