Dustin Joe Garvey — Licensed Colorado Outfitter

Services offered

Garvey Brothers Outfitters is a premier specialist for hunting in Unit 61, a region widely considered one of the top trophy units in Colorado for both elk and mule deer. Because this area requires a significant number of preference points—often 20 or more for elk and 10 or more for deer—the outfit treats every booking as a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience. They operate under special use permits for both BLM and U.S. Forest Service lands, utilizing a strategic migration-based approach. Early season hunts, including archery and muzzleloading, are conducted from a remote high-altitude camp on the Uncompahgre Plateau at approximately 9,000 feet, while later rifle hunts transition to private property cabins as the animals move toward their wintering grounds. The hunting style is strictly “fair chase” and emphasizes the “spot and stalk” method to avoid roads and reach the more remote pockets of the unit. Dustin and his team tailor each hunt to the client’s physical ability, often using horses to assist in packing out harvested game from rugged terrain. Beyond their renowned elk and deer programs, they also offer Mountain Lion hunts, providing year-round opportunities for serious sportsmen
