The business has an established reputation with repeat clientele and offers guided and drop camp elk, black bear and mule deer hunts as its primary draw. Opportunities also exist to expand into summer horseback rides, pack trips, and fishing excursions to diversify revenue streams.

A Rare Offering
Opportunities to purchase established, permitted outfitting operations in Colorado are limited.
