Greetings and Happy Holidays!
Thank you for visiting our website information. Please feel free to contact us with any information you may need. We are currently finishing up our 2008 hunting season and are booking hunts for 2009 and beyond. We are from the “Old School” where we still believe in honesty and integrity, and here at the “Coffeepot” we must admit that the 2008 harvest was somewhat disappointing for many of us on the Western Slope of Colorado. The elk were elusive and uncooperative to say the least and we will be honest to let you know it was one of our poorer seasons. However, we are pleased to say that we still are above the typical state average of 30% success average on bucks and bulls and are confident that the 2009 season will have plenty to offer. 2008 was on “off season“ due to many factors including the harsh winter of 2007 and the effect it had on both wildlife and extenuating circumstances. Our two biggest GMU 66 bulls scored 297 and 318”. This fell quite a bit short of our 340 class bulls of 2007. But, this is HUNTING!
Since you all will ask, our average “actual kill” success for the season in GMU 65 was 50% for elk, 70% for mulies (cow elk hunts are still ongoing - so far 100%), Lake City (GMU 66) held at 50% overall elk guided and unguided, with one unintended lion kill. We encountered the timberline bucks dreams are made of on several occasions - but no good luck charms for us this year with our drop camp hunters. Those tags are hard to get and our timberline rifle buck hunts are only one or two in a lifetime! Archery is something to consider. Easier draw and the bucks are in the velvet. Inquire about this. We DO recommend going guided on that one! As an incentive for next year we are offering for a short time **$200 off per person if you reserve your 2009 guided hunt before January 20, 2009. We will be finished with our Cow Elk Hunt 2008 season January 15, 2009. Until then you can still reach us at our Hunting Lodge, The Little Big Horn Lodge in Cimarron, Colorado.
