Unit 17 is one of the few places left in the Rockies where you can rifle hunt bulls while they are still bugling, and Cameron Outfitters holds exclusive guiding rights to more than 800 square miles of it. The tags are guaranteed outfitter tags, so there is no draw and no lottery to enter. Days start early with breakfast in camp, then you ride out on horses and mules and cover the last of it on foot. They put the average shot distance on elk at under 100 yards. Once a bull is down the guide handles field processing, caping, and trophy prep, and you are back in camp for dinner and the day's stories. It is a combination hunt. Once you have your elk and deer they will go after anything else you hold tags for, bears and wolves and coyotes included, at no additional cost and no trophy fee. Mountain lion season is open across the same window. Camps and guiding - Guided basecamp, 1-on-1: September 15 to November 11, from $9,800 per hunter - Guided basecamp, 2-on-1: September 15 to November 11, from $6,800 per hunter - Guided pack-in, 1-on-1: September 15 to October 15, from $10,200 per hunter - Guided pack-in, 2-on-1: September 15 to October 15, from $7,400 per hunter 2-on-1 hunts are always two hunters from the same party.
