Big Thompson Outfitters

Tired of fighting crowds on public land? Big Thompson Outfitters operates dedicated private hunting leases across Northern Colorado, eliminating the chaos of high-pressure public access.

When you book with BTO, your group hunts alone. No rival parties, no random hikers, no need to scout at dawn and hope the birds haven't been harassed. Their guides scout 7 days a week, placing you in active flyways where game feels safe and establishes predictable patterns.

"We don't hunt dirt pits."

This isn't marketing fluff—it's their actual philosophy. Their custom-built luxury blinds (named "The Train Station" and "The Airport") are heated, weather-proof, and furnished. Some feature TVs and cooking surfaces.

What's included: - Hot, custom breakfast served in the blind - Warm coffee and gourmet snacks throughout the day - Guides handling logistics while you focus on birds - No frozen fingers, no leaky dugouts, no shivering in the open

BTO packages combine field hunts with their private Johnstown Lake Retreat—a fully-furnished home base with Front Range views. Beyond the hunt, they offer:

• •Entertainment: True Golf Simulator, practice shooting, professional casino nights
• •Corporate Events: Team building, client entertainment, bachelor/bachelorette packages
• •Brewery Tours: Organized itineraries handling all logistics
• •Recovery & Wellness: Designed for groups traveling hard

Public land DIY hunts require massive investments: weeks scouting, hundreds in gear (decoys, blinds, heaters), thousands total for low success rates. BTO eliminates that risk. You pay for managed prime land, premium gear, expert scouting, and luxury amenities. Your job: show up and enjoy the results.
