2007 Elk Muzzleloader Drop Camp- Need an Outfitter

[97VIPER]

I have DIY archery elk hunted for several years in Wyoming and am planning a 2007 muzzleloader trip to Colorado with my brother. Since I do notknow the area, Iam looking for some help. I am on a budget and as much as I would like a guided hunt, I can't afford it. I want a pack in trip to a spike camp, unguided for2 hunters.

What part of the State would you recomend?..units.
Quality outfitter name..

Muzzle loader tags are by draw, have you put in for one.

Applied for Statewide and each of us have 2 PP, so I don't anticipate any issues with drawing a tag.

Get back with me if you draw i could show you a few spots if interested. Camp on road good walk up mountain.

2 pp's won't guarentee you a muzzleloader tag. I met hunters last yr. in camp that had 3, and were turned down! But if you recieve one, or might want to even book a hunt, and just do the otc archery anyways. It runs same wk. Check out Winterhawk outfitters. I was there last fall for archery, and I had a awesome time. I'm going back in 2008, my hunts alreadly booked. They had some decent drop camps, and we stayed at some midday to warm up & nap. They are way in from base camp, and pack all your gear in & out. Provide you with a radio, and you have to check in daily for safety purposes. They are a family run outfit, been in business over 20yrs. They've been on theOutdoor channel several times with The Wild Outdoors, Hunters Journal, and Babe Winkleman. Check them out, Larry's a great guy.

Dont have any personal references, but there is a ton Near the Meeker/Craig CO area that do drop camps. Flatops Wilderness Area is usually one of the top destinations.
