Western Colorado Hunting with Winterhawk Outfitters

In the Flat Top Wilderness, there are no motorized vehicles. Our hunting area covers over 250 square miles of territory where the Elk, Mule Deer and Cougar are free to grow to their fullest potential without excessive hunting pressure and the presence of man. All hunting is, of course, 100% fair chase. We enjoy fantastic success rates on our hunts, but there are no guarantees you'll take home a trophy.

For most hunters, booking a wilderness hunting trip is a milestone. We know the planning and care that should go into such an endeavor and we take the responsibility very seriously. We strive to provide excellent service, safety and exactly the kind of hunting experience the client desires.
