what season do you want to hunt? colorado has alot of different elk seasons to choose from.
I know of a few ranches in north central colorado that do landowner vouchers for cows and a $500 trespass fee.
so for out of stater it would be $350 for cow tag and $500 trespass so looking at about $1000.00 for tag,trespass and hotel.
I hunt national forest for bulls, but when family and friends want to hunt we get together and work a deal with rancher for cow vouchers and usually take about 5 people and ranchers sells us vouchers for $250.00
none of the ranches i deal with offer guiding or room/board. so need to figure in food, motel, gas, ect. but is a great hunt and will see herds of elk from 25-2500...
the longest it has taken us to ever kill on private ranch late season is about 8hrs. so not a real hunt mainly just fun time for some buddies and fill the freezer.
and if want to shoot a bull. I'm not afraid to share my spots just PM me. going to need a good set of Lungs and good boots but I promise atleast a chance at a shot. favorite season for bull is muzzleloader.
