ABOUT US

Hello everyone! We are Bill and Carla Allen and we invite you to join us and experience a Colorado hunt of a life time.  We have been Colorado outfitters for 35+ years in Colorado in the same area.  We are not part time Colorado outfitters but full time Colorado outfitters.  Myself, my wife along with all of our Colorado guides are avid archery hunters, and we feel that is very important in being a good Colorado outfitter.  So that we truly understand the needs of our hunters because we are hunters ourselves.

My wife and I were raised on working ranches that have been in our families for generations, and we literally grew up on a horse riding in the back country of Colorado.  So we can say with confidence and a life time of experience that we know our hunting area very well.

It has long been our passion to share with others what the high country and mountains of Colorado have to offer.  So please come on a Colorado archery elk hunt of a life time with Elk Basin Outfitters – The name says it all.

Thank You Bill and Carla Allen
