I hunted third season rifle bull elk in Colorado unit 61 2021 with Allout which will be the first…read moreand last time I ever do a guided hunt in Colorado. I'm giving them two stars only because I harvested a bull elk on my third day and I got to hunt with who I think is there best guide Scott. Outside of that it was a bit of a joke. Jt had over booked his third season and did not have enough room for his hunters. Me and another hunter were sent down the mountain on are first day and stayed in this dump of a ranch house for two days that had rats the size of small cats living in it and kept us up all night running around on us while we tried to sleep at night, not cool. On top of that it was my guides first time ever guiding in what is considered a trophy unit for Colorado that took me 13 years to draw which I wished I knew ahead of time. He complained about having to drive his own vehicle and would not go more then a mile or two from the ranch house to find some bigger bulls. We had seen elk for the first two days but not what I was looking for which my guide numerous times tried to get me to shoot. On the second day my guide wanted to quite on me in the morning because of the rats I talked him into going out that morning and hunting and then we would figure out are sleeping situation for that night. We ended up moving four hours back up to the main camp which messed up my afternoon hunt for that day. When we got back to the main camp at night time my guide finally quit on me and loaded his stuff up and left the main camp before Jt got back never to be seen again also not cool. Back at the main camp there was no room for me in any of the tents so thanks to Cody W. I was able to stay in his cabin (that was nice thank god) 15 min. down the road. I told myself that night I'm going to shoot the first bull I see big or small pack my stuff up and get the heck out of this camp never go guided again. The next morning I get teamed up with Scott who was awesome! to hunt with. We go out and jump two cows on are way in then spot a bull at first light but could not tell how big he was and ended up losing sight of him. So we headed father down the drainage only to find another bull which I ended up shooting I figured he scored about 270" to 280" 6X6. I look back at it now and wonder if I would have been teamed up with Scott at first to begin with the rating of this hunt could of been different and quality of bull elk that I saw could have been better knowing Scott's years of experience as a guide. On another note the food was not all that good and never was hot by the time I eat considering what I paid ($5500) for this hunt. I think Jt and Allout have gotten more noticed because of his youtube videos and his first few years running Allout and needs to find away to get back to that going forward. It would have been nice to have gotten a follow up phone call from Jt in regards to my hunt and maybe even a bit of a refund of some money considering what happened which he never did. But I guess I was successful in the end with taking an elk which I could have done on my own. I'm sure other hunters experiences are different then mine and were Allout for them but mine sure wasn't. Knowing what I know now if I ever get a chance to hunt this unit again I would do my own camp and make sure I have an atv to get me down some of the roads as they are pretty gnarly. If you ever get a chance to hunt this unit and chose to go with Allout I hope your experience turns out better then mine did.

I have hunted with La Garita for 2 years in a row and I have been very happy with both hunts. A…read moregood friend and I both harvested NICE antelope bucks our first year with them. This year we booked whitetail hunts with him. He did an great job finding a big deer with split G2's, then put me in the right spot to get him and I missed.........painful but my fault! I have hunted from Argentina to Africa. Based on my experience I would say that La Garita did a good job finding the animals and putting me on them. On both hunts I had memorable experiences, saw trophy quality animals, and had great opportunities to harvest. I am planning to book with them again this coming year. I hunted with both Mike and Greg. They were friendly and knowledgeable and put me on the animals. The only compliant that I have is that I missed and I can't blame that on them. --Rich

The G R Bar Ranch has been one of the most fun vacations we have spent in Colorado. Located near…read morebeautiful Paonia, the ranch offers 4 cabins for a week long stay; cabins are a mile to a mile and a half from each other so you feel like all the ranch belongs to you. Each cabin comes with 2 horses and their tack. (You can get more for an additional price.) When the husband and I checked into the ranch and Arrowhead cabin, their ranch hand brought us a matching set of ponies and started to show us basic horse care. Once he realized I was an experienced horse person, he said for us to come get him if we needed any help. Other than the ranch hand coming back the next day to ask if I would trade my pony because they needed an easy horse for another family for Smitty, the ranch's pack horse who had not been ridden all summer but knew Smitty and I would be fine together, we had the ranch to ourselves. There are tons of trails to ride on, lakes to fish in, boats to paddle in, and 4 wheel roads to drive on (all inclusive). We did not see any of the other families the whole week. Now, if you are not such an isolationist as we are, you can go down to the main lodge for a visit with other families or the owners. The cabins are run by propane and slightly rustic. You have all the comforts of home except a TV and telephone which is what we wanted for our vacation escape. We did go into town to get fresh peaches and other food but basically spent an incredible week catching up with each other and pretending Arrowhead was our private cabin. From reading the guest book, families come year after year even leaving some personal items such as games and sports equipment doing the same thing we did, pretending this was their private get away. The only reason G R Bar gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because they advertise the great fishing in their lakes. Since we were there at the end of the season, most fish had been fished out and eaten. This made the husband a bit cranky as he is a catch and release man. Other than that, I cannot even begin to tell you how fabulous the G R Bar Ranch is for a family vacation. And once you go, you become their family and receive a Christmas card every year.

I have stayed at GR Bar Ranch several times, and each time was magical. If you love nature and the…read moreoutdoors, and you're looking for a private slice of heaven, this is the place for you. It is literally off the beaten path (you should have 4 wheel drive) and not one of those places where there are ten cabins next to each other and you wave to one another from your individual fire pits in the evening. No, this is the real deal! You are alone, you have no neighbors, and there is endless abundant nature to explore. I loved my early morning cup of coffee on the front porch. The air smells so good and just listening to the little sounds around me, the rustle of the leaves, the small animals and birds, was so soothing. It is rustic (everything runs on propane), but you will have everything you need in one of the most beautiful places there are. I was actually worried about my teenage son on a recent visit (there is no "free wifi" and cell reception is spotty or nonexistent), but he loved it! This is a wonderful place for families to connect the old fashioned way - play a board game, hike, fish, go horseback riding, or just relax. I have heard they also have great hunting for those so inclined. My family and I will definitely be back for another visit, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful place to anyone looking for a very special vacation spot. Five stars!!

I felt I needed to add a review about this Hunt Club. I hunted RMR as a member for many years when…read moreI lived in Colorado and always found it to be one of the BEST Pheasant hunting locations in the US; and I have hunted in many states for these birds. RMR has exceptional habitat, excellent guides and great dogs. The owner Bret Axton, the Club Manager, Bill Lieb are very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. You can't ask for better people. I live in Georgia now but recently drove out to Colorado along with one of my best friends from Missouri and once again we had a great hunt. I hope to make this annual journey with my hunting buddies as long as my health with allow. Great job Brett, keep up the good work and I hope this years Charity hunt is a huge success. Chuck
