RE: Sombrero drop camp CO
If you rent horses from Sombrero then you are required to feed them. They have a contract that says how much you need to feed. Also it has to be certified weed free if you go on public areas.
On drop camps, you do not keep the horses in camp. They take you up to your camp, drop you off, unload the pack horses and help you get settled in. Then they take the horses back with them. If you get an elk then it will cost you $250 to get it down the mountain.
On the horse-back guided hunt, you will be on horses all day but will come back down the mountain to the bunk house each evening.
I think the best camp is the high one on the south-west side of Pyramid Peak. Its about 10,500 ft. We were supposed to go there but got switched at the last minute. At the Flower Pot camp, most of the hunting is in dark timber. Good trails in it. Lots of elk sign. Mightbe good archery.On any of those camps you will have to be quiet and not talk loud orcreate a lot of noise because the elk are right there next to you.
The first day we were in camp we heard a group of elk come thru on a trail behind our camp. It was only 50 yards from our tent. But that was the last time we heard them.
If you go on any of theirhunts you should get some riding in before you go. As other posts said, they will help you a lot. Good outfit.
