Big Game Hunts...



Thank you for considering us for a big game hunt. We are located in southwestern Colorado - 20 miles west of Pagosa Springs and 40 miles east of Durango at Piedra River Resort - Highway 160 & Piedra River - Mile Marker 121.5 - Chimney Rock, Colorado - Big Game Unit 77.

As a licensed professional full time outfitter, we are committed to giving you an exciting and pleasurable experience in the backcountry with a high percentage of success and opportunities at big game. We offer a variety of guided and unguided hunts in Colorado and New Mexico.

Our business is not a sideline so please compare our services and prices with others in the industry. Compare apples to apples and you will find we are very competitive with prices and give you above average service. Just remember the cost of a hunt and service can be bitter-sweet long after the hunt when you don't compare.
