My buddy and I have 10 preference pts each for Colorado.We hunted with Winterhawk back in 2006,had a great time.Looking for an area with possibly better chances of scoring.Any suggestions ?
 
You are in serious no mans land. I only see 1 unit that utilizes your points. Others are 6 or less: Unit 49

You are in between. I was in the same situation this year with 11 points. I am getting too old to chase these points so I decided on unit 40 third season, NR guided, private land. My hunt is about a month away and we will see how it turns out.

Third season certainly isn't the most desirable season but this is a good unit and the muzzleloader and first rifle hunters will take some 350 class bulls. I'm just hoping they leave some 300 to 320 class bulls for me.

But unit 40 third season or unit 49 first season is all that I saw. I never found much information on 49 guided. But 49 has a lot of public land if you wanted to hunt on your own. Unit 40 is mostly private land.
 
If I was looking for a guided hunt and had up to 10 points, one call I'd make is to Scott Limmer of Comanche Wilderness Outfitters. I have no experience with him but he has a decent reputation for producing good success on nice animals
 
We originally were going to do a drop camp with Winterhawk back when we went in 06,but glad we did guided.Way to hot,the bulls did not bugle after sun started coming up.We could not have covered the amt of area on foot as we did on horses.Even though we did not connect,Winterhawk is a great outfitter IMO.Would not hesitate to use him again,but really do not waste my points in a low point needed area.
 
Most Colorado Outfitters belong to the Colorado Outfitters Association, not all of them but most of them.

The Colorado Outfitters Association has a good web site to help find outfitters. If you are interested in unit 49 just plug unit 49 into their search page and it will show you the outfitters operating in unit 49.
 
LAST EDITED ON Sep-29-15 AT 04:31PM (MST)[p]Matschee guide service, muzzy or 1st rifle, unit 49. He's the best elk hunter I've ever been around. Whether you're in shape enough to handle the mules at 12,000' and can shoot is up to you...
