Timber to Table Guide Service

Timbertotableguideservice isn't your typical hunting outfitter. Their name describes their core mission: get you into the field, help you harvest quality game, and teach you how to process your own animal so you can do it again on your own.

They run guided elk and deer hunts in the West Elk Mountains of western Colorado, operating Units 61 and 62 from their Dark Timber Lodge on the Uncompahgre Plateau. Hunt packages include:

• •Archery and early season rifle hunts
• •Backcountry and lodge-based hunts
• •Hunts tailored for first-time hunters and women
• •Accommodations at their hunting lodge

One of their main goals during your guided hunt is to educate you on processing your own game. Rather than just helping you fill a tag, they teach you the skills to bring whatever you pursue from timber to your own table in the future.

They're equally passionate about teaching respect for the animals, understanding public lands, and making sure you have genuine fun while hunting. Their guides (like Josh, mentioned in client reviews) are known for patience, optimism, and local knowledge.

"I learned how to be quieter in the woods. I will always remember the experience, and the emotions that came with it... The experience was once in a lifetime, and our family is enjoying the meat." — Claire B., PA

They work especially hard to get women and youth hunting for the first time, with dedicated programming to empower women hunters so they'll hunt for the rest of their lives—with or without a guide.
