If you’re searching for unmatched hunting adventures in the Rocky Mountains, look no further. Big game Colorado hunting is more than just a trip — it’s a rugged, unforgettable challenge set in the heart of the wild. Whether you’re after elk, mule deer, or pronghorn antelope, Colorado offers one of the most diverse and rewarding big game hunting environments in North America.
At Loco Mountain Outfitters, we provide expert-led, high-success big game hunts in Colorado across some of the most wildlife-rich terrain in the state. Our private ranches, high-altitude meadows, and deep forest trails give hunters the perfect mix of accessibility and wilderness.
Big Game Hunting Colorado — Legendary Terrain, Proven Success
Colorado’s vast wilderness, diverse elevation, and regulated wildlife management make it one of the best states in the U.S. for big game hunting. From velvet-antlered bull elk to swift pronghorn antelope, the land offers opportunities for every level of hunter.
Loco Mountain Outfitters is located in Cotopaxi, Colorado — right in the heart of game country. With access to over 4,000 acres of private hunting land and adjacent public lands, we help hunters pursue trophy-class animals in natural, undisturbed habitats.
What You’ll Hunt with Us:
Rocky Mountain Elk: Our elk hunts run through remote, high-altitude terrain between 9,000 and 11,300 feet, giving you prime access to herds during their peak movements.
Mule Deer: Agile, elusive, and iconic, Colorado’s mule deer population thrives on our land. These hunts are strategic, physically engaging, and extremely rewarding.
Pronghorn Antelope: In eastern Colorado, we guide antelope hunts across multiple private ranches with a history of 100% success in recent seasons.
Whether you're booking for archery, rifle, or muzzleloader season, our team has the experience and scouting knowledge to put you in the right spot at the right time.
Your Hunt, Fully Guided — No Guesswork, No Gimmicks
Every big game hunting trip in Colorado with us includes full-service support from arrival to harvest. We take care of everything except pulling the trigger — that part’s all yours.
Here’s What We Provide:
Guided Hunts: Our licensed, seasoned guides know every draw, ridge, and trail. They’ll glass, track, and call to get you close to your target animal.
Private Land Access: Over 4,000 acres of exclusive terrain, plus permitted areas of surrounding national forest, provide a true wilderness hunting experience without overcrowding.
Lodging & Meals: Stay in our rustic yet comfortable lodge, complete with hearty meals and shared stories around the fire after a long day in the field.
Transportation: We use horses and ATVs to get deep into backcountry locations and to retrieve your game safely.
Field Dressing & Delivery: Once your trophy is down, we handle field dressing and assist with transportation to local butchers or taxidermists.
Tag & License Help: Navigating Colorado’s big game tag system can be tricky — we help with draw applications and often offer landowner vouchers to guarantee access.

Physical Preparation for a Colorado Mountain Hunt
Hunting big game in Colorado isn’t just about having the right rifle or tag — it’s about being mentally and physically ready to handle the mountains. Whether you’re after elk, mule deer, or antelope, preparing your body ahead of time can make the difference between a tough trip and a successful hunt.
Why It Matters
Our hunts at Loco Mountain Outfitters often take place between 9,000 and 11,300 feet elevation, where thinner air and steep terrain can challenge even seasoned hunters. While we tailor every hunt to your physical abilities, a reasonable level of fitness improves your chances, your accuracy, and your overall experience.
What to Focus On
Cardio & Endurance: Start walking, hiking, or using a stair machine 4–5 times a week. Aim for 30–45 minutes per session with added pack weight over time. The goal is to build up your lungs and legs.
Leg Strength & Core Stability: Bodyweight squats, lunges, step-ups, and planks can help you stay balanced on uneven ground and carry gear comfortably.
Pack Training: Get used to carrying 20–30 lbs in your hunting pack. Start with flat ground and work your way up to hills or stairs — this simulates the terrain you’ll face in our hunting areas.
Hydration & Altitude Readiness: Arrive a day early if possible, drink plenty of water, and avoid alcohol the night before the hunt. These small steps help your body adjust to the elevation more smoothly.
Even if you’re not in peak shape, don’t worry — we match each hunt to your comfort level and provide full guide support. But putting in a few weeks of training before your trip? That’s the kind of prep that pays off on the mountain.
