Full description and what we offer
Quaking Aspen Outfitters operates out of Colorado's premier hunting terrain, with guides who know the animals and the land. Their founder has been guiding bighorn sheep hunters for over 40 years across units S54, S26, S11, S10, S17, S20, S69, S22, and S70—and several clients have taken record book rams.
One-on-one hunts with a camp helper and cook. They hunt from comfortable mobile camps and follow sheep on horseback when they move. The success rate speaks for itself: over 95%, with the only misses coming on 7/8 and full curl rams under 100 yards.
"I've been guiding sheep hunters in these units for over 40 years. I know their areas and movements and can get you a good shot at a good ram (3/4 curl or better!)."
Unit 66 (Limited Draw) - La Garita Wilderness - Archery: September 2-30 - Muzzleloader: September 8-17 - Pack 8 miles into La Garita Wilderness to trophy elk country - Success: nearly 100% for 5+ point bull elk
