I have always had my heart set on shooting an elk in Colorado with my bow.

I was wondering if any of you could offer advice on finding a trustworthy outfitter? (maybe you have had experience with one already?) Budget wise, my absolute maximum I am willing to spend is $5000 total/ person.

I JUST REALLY DO NOT WANT TO GET BURNED!

Any help will be much appreciated!

THANKS!!

What kind of hunt are you looking for? Guided, semi-guided, drop camp? I don't think your budget is unreasonable at all. I would start be determining what kind of hunt you are after, and even what kind of animal you are after. You are doing the right thing beginning early as most of the quality outfits will be booked up or close to it by the end of the year.
