Services offered

LKS Outfitters stands as Colorado’s largest public land outfitter, operating a massive network of wilderness territories that include over one million acres for mountain lion hunting alone. The company is an umbrella for several of the state’s most historic outfits—Flat Tops Wilderness Guides, Horn Fork Guides, Pack String Outfitters, and River’s Bend Outfitters. This vast footprint allows them to offer hunts in seven different elk and deer units, nine bighorn sheep units, and five mountain goat units. Their operations span five distinct wilderness areas, including the Flat Tops, Collegiate Peaks, Buffalo Peaks, Eagles Nest, and Mount Massive Wilderness Areas. The hunting experience with LKS is defined by its scale and “old-school” wilderness logistics; the company maintains a string of over 120 horses and mules to service 44 remote wilderness camps. Because they operate in such diverse terrain, they can accommodate everything from “double black diamond” backpack hunts for bighorn sheep in the Gore Range to horse-supported lodge hunts in the Flat Tops. For elk and mule deer, they specialize in both fully guided wall-tent expeditions and DIY drop camps, primarily focused on Game Man
