Big Game Hunting in GMUs 18 & 28 - Grand County, Colorado

Situated in Colorado GMUs 18 and 28, this region is a proven destination for big game hunting. Both units offer over-the-counter elk licenses for second and third rifle seasons, with draw-only tags for archery and muzzleloader hunts. These units are known for healthy elk herds and good hunter success rates, especially in backcountry areas accessed on horseback. Mule deer hunting is available through limited draw tags, with solid buck quality and productive terrain in higher elevations and transitional zones. The area is also prime Shiras moose habitat, with high success rates and draw-only opportunities in lush willow basins and alpine valleys. For seasoned guides or trophy hunters, these units also hold Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, with extremely limited tags and classic steep, rugged terrain-offering a true once-in-a-lifetime experience for the right client.

The terrain ranges from 8,000 to over 13,500 feet, with a diverse mix of dark timber, open meadows, alpine basins, and remote ridgelines. Much of the area is wilderness-designated, requiring non-motorized access, making horseback operations and experienced guides invaluable assets for clients.

Located just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park and less than 100 miles from Denver, the business benefits from a prime tourism corridor and year-round recreational traffic. Whether you're an experienced outfitter, an investor seeking a unique opportunity, or an outdoors oriented person ready for a lifestyle change, this is your chance to own a rewarding wilderness outfit
