Rugged Rack Outfitters was established in 2001 and is a licensed Colorado Guide and Outfitter.  We operate on some of the most game rich private property Western Colorado has to offer.  We try harder to ensure that you have a quality hunt with great memories to last a lifetime.  We have just the right mixture of experienced guides, hearty home-cooked meals and comfortable accommodations to make your hunting trip worth every dollar.  It's our goal to provide each hunter that books a hunt, a quality experience.

​

We specialize primarily in guided hunts but do offer a small number of un-guided hunts as well.  Our quality shot opportunity rates are excellent on mule deer and elk every year, (90%+) for rifle deer/elk & archery deer, 70% archery elk.  This should continue for years to come with healthy herd numbers and limited number of hunters taken each year.  Our guides are top-notch with a vast knowledge of the game we hunt and the land they inhabit.  Our ranches range from 5,000 to 9,000 feet in elevation with a wide variety of terrain consisting of cedar and sage up into oak brush, aspen and spruce. 

​

We have a limited number of archery, muzzleloader, and rifle landowner mule deer vouchers for sale each year for those unsuccessful in the draw or those with no preference points.

​

We would be happy to provide a list of references upon request for those who would like to visit with some of our previous clients.

​

All or part of this operation is conducted on public land under special permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Services.
