Elk Camp

High Altitude Deer/Elk Camp Colorado

We hunt in Colorado Zirkel wilderness and the south central part of Wyoming, with over 50 years of experience in the business. 

The Mt. Zirkel Wilderness hunts are for high altitude deer, plus muzzle loader and archery hunts for elk or deer.  Drop camps and “Super Camps” are also available in Sept.  Colorado cow elk hunts, with no license required, on private ranch are available in November and early December. 

Black Bear

Wyoming offers opportunities for SIX species of Big Trophy Game, beginning with spring Black Bear. Based at our lodge, we hunt the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains.  A female mortality quota system has increased our population and the area can produce exceptionally large bears, as well as color phases.  Licenses can be bought over the counter.  There’s plenty of time during the day for fishing and varmint shooting. 

Antelope

Deer

Elk

As the aspen begin to turn yellow, October rifle season for mule deer opens.  Trophy bucks are found on the ranch, and in the surrounding mountains and wilderness areas.  Sage brush, bitter brush, aspen and pine are abundant.  Providing everything a deer needs to produce big antlers.  Deer are hunted on horseback, walking, and/or 4x4 from a camp or lodge.

As the leaves fall and the air becomes crisper, the Medicine Bow Mountains (forest &wilderness) plus some private land provides for our Wyoming Bull elk hunting.  Cow season generally extends into November, giving the meat hunter opportunities to fill the freezer at a reduced cost.  All bull elk, some deer and cow hunts require riding.  A weight limit of 250lbs is placed on anyone riding a horse for safety.  APPLY for ELK licenses by JAN. 31^st.  DEER & ANTELOPE by MARCH 15^th. 

Mountain Lion

Mountain lion hunting is based on a mortality quota by area and tags are sold over the counter.  For best results, book, be on an on-call basis, be in good shape to follow the hounds, and think snow.  A worthy trophy will be worth the effort and adventure.

Varmint Hunts

Winter months offer opportunities for coyote.  Have an experienced guide call them to you.

 A regular hunt generally means two people per guide for antelope, deer, and elk.  One on one hunts for all other species or upon request.  Call us at 307-327-5539 for details, or e-mail us at plattoutfitting@gmail.com.
