Questions to ask before you book

  1. Success and opportunity rates for your species over the last three seasons, and how they define "opportunity".
  2. References from hunters who hunted the same camp and dates, including someone who didn't fill a tag.
  3. Exactly what the price covers: licences and tags, trophy fees, charters, meat care, taxes and gratuities.
  4. Guide ratio and camp style: 1×1 or 2×1, horses or backpack, how far you'll walk each day.
  5. Licensing: whether they're licensed and insured where they operate, and what licences and tags you need to draw or buy for Colorado.
  6. Cancellation and weather policy, especially for fly-in hunts.
