RE: colorado elk 2008 archery
Yes I've heard of them.
I have never hunted with them or heard anything bad about them.
Winterhawk hunts the Flattop's area. I've hunted this area 2 times. Using horses to get away from hunting pressure is the key to seeing elk.
If your planning on using a outfitter give Winterhawk a call. I like the flattops area but, backpacking in is hard work for someone not use to the area! If you have your own horses then you will need to do alot of homework.
One other thing. The weather up there can change in a hurry! The last time we hunted there was during 911. On the pack in the weather went from short sleeve shirts to 6"-8" of snow overnight.
We were into the elk on this trip and things were looking real good. Then 911 hit and we ended our trip to head back home to be with family. Not knowing what was going on for sure in the US.
Good luck and keep us posted on how things go.
