I was wondering where is the best place to do a FREE ranging elk hunt without having to draw a tag to hunt? Also wondering if anyone knows any good outfitters that i can look into.

Got no idea about an outfitter. Try some of the company's listewd in this web site. It's tough for one hunter to recommend an outfitter to another. First of all, he may have a completely different experience than you will. Due to forces outside anyones reach.Uncooperative weather, different guide, Not as many critters due to winter kill or early migration. Any number of reasons you may not have as good of an experience as another.
I suggest you search the web for Colo. outfitters and check out their references. They should be proud to if they are at all reputable. Where they guide and outfit is another aspect to research. No sense in using an outfitter in Jefferson County for instance, mostly Denver and suberbs.
Unless you are very new to any kind of big game hunting, a do-it-yourself hunt is very doable.
Good luck.

Idaho (some units) and Colorado (some units)
You can go through a Outfitter in Montana and pay the money for a Outfitter Sponsored tag wich is garunteed,but then you would have to pay for a guided hunt.

Google "crow creek outfitters"
Mike Parsons is the owner/operator and he's a great guy. Tags are guaranteed through the outfitter in Montana, though they are pricey.
If that does trip your trigger and you don't mind a six point on one side rule (read: pass up 300+ class 5 x 5's) you can look into hunting British Columbia. I've been to BC twice with two nice 6 points to show for it. They scored (unofficially) 300 and 320 respectively. BC is a bitmore costly though.
