The Flat Tops Wilderness

The Flat Tops, a federally designated Wilderness Area known for hosting the world’s largest Elk herd, provides a distinctive and adventurous experience for our guided hunters. This remote and rugged backcountry showcases some of the finest Elk habitat in the country, featuring a variety of terrains including small open meadows, aspen-covered mountainsides, and dense stands of spruce, pine, and fir forests that support a robust Elk population. The area is also abundant with Mule Deer, Black Bear, and Moose.

Hunting in Game Management Unit (GMU) 24 in Colorado offers an exceptional elk hunting opportunity with diverse terrain and habitats that cater perfectly to elk and mule deer.
