RIFLE AND MUZZLELOADER HUNTS

Archery Unlimited Outfitters LLC
offers a variety of muzzleloader and rifle hunts for the hunter to choose from. We highly recommend the drop camps due to easy hunting within walking distance. The camps are approximately 11,000'+ in elevation with dark spruce timber and open parks. Landmarks are abundant. Finding our way around in the woods is very easy. This coupled with an affordable price makes drop camps a popular choice. We also offer fully guided and deluxe one on one hunts.

We pack our hunters approximately 5 to 10 miles in on horseback. The horses we use for transportation are bred and raised by our family and are top Quarter Horse bloodlines. Our horses are gentle and dependable and are very suitable to the mountainous riding.


DROP CAMP HUNT

Drop camps are an inexpensive way for our clients to "do it themselves". We offer two types of drop camps:

    Standard drop camp - you provide your own tent, equipment and food. Archery Unlimited Outfitters will check on you every other day and will give advice as to the best way to hunt the area.
    Deluxe drop camp - Archery Unlimited Outfitters provides the tent and camping equipment. The client provides the food and does their own cooking. Archery Unlimited Outfitters will check on you every other day and will give advice as to the best way to hunt the area.

    The fully guided hunt is a duluxe hunt. Archery Unlimited Outfitters provides a tent, camping equipment and food. We also provide a cook as well as horses for hunting transportation. There are two hunters per guide and our guides will put you in the best spot to ensure your success.

DELUXE ONE-ON-ONE HUNT

    This fully guided hunt is an ultra deluxe hunt. Archery Unlimited Outfitters provides a tent, camping equipment and food. We also provide a cook as well as horses for hunting transportation. However, there is only one guide per hunter. Our guides goal is to ensure that you are successful.
