DIY High Country Deluxe Drop Camps: $3,550 to $3,750

GET AWAY FROM THE CROWDS...Let us take you in by horseback to a remote Deluxe Wilderness Tent Camp in the Heart of the Colorado Rockies.  The price ranges from $3,550 to $3,750 depending on the camp.  We have 5 different camps in the White River National Forest in Unit 24 near Meeker Colorado.  Each camp will have 4 hunters...if you are a single group of friends then you can have 5 or 6 hunters if you want.  This hunt is a draw but you will draw the tag with zero preference points.  We horseback you into an established tent camp...from there you hunt on your own.  We will show you the best areas to hunt from each camp.  We come back and pack your elk out.  You can hunt elk, bear and mule deer for the same price...no extra fee.  You bring and cook your own food.  There will be one sleep tent and one cook tent.  Included in the camps are sleep cots, tables, chairs, stoves, axe, chainsaw, all cooking supplies and more.  Operating under special use permit in the White River National Forest.  Camps with dates and pricing are listed below.  For more info contact 303-378-9512 or keith@TheElkRanch.com
