I hunted third season rifle bull elk in Colorado unit 61 2021 with Allout which will be the first and last time I ever do a guided hunt in Colorado. I'm giving them two stars only because I harvested a bull elk on my third day and I got to hunt with who I think is there best guide Scott. Outside of that it was a bit of a joke. Jt had over booked his third season and did not have enough room for his hunters. Me and another hunter were sent down the mountain on are first day and stayed in this dump of a ranch house for two days that had rats the size of small cats living in it and kept us up all night running around on us while we tried to sleep at night, not cool. On top of that it was my guides first time ever guiding in what is considered a trophy unit for Colorado that took me 13 years to draw which I wished I knew ahead of time. He complained about having to drive his own vehicle and would not go more then a mile or two from the ranch house to find some bigger bulls. We had seen elk for the first two days but not what I was looking for which my guide numerous times tried to get me to shoot. On the second day my guide wanted to quite on me in the morning because of the rats I talked him into going out that morning and hunting and then we would figure out are sleeping situation for that night. We ended up moving four hours back up to the main camp which messed up my afternoon hunt for that day. When we got back to the main camp at night time my guide finally quit on me and loaded his stuff up and left the main camp before Jt got back never to be seen again also not cool. Back at the main camp there was no room for me in any of the tents so thanks to Cody W. I was able to stay in his cabin (that was nice thank god) 15 min. down the road. I told myself that night I'm going to shoot the first bull I see big or small pack my stuff up and get the heck out of this camp never go guided again. The next morning I get teamed up with Scott who was awesome! to hunt with. We go out and jump two cows on are way in then spot a bull at first light but could not tell how big he was and ended up losing sight of him. So we headed father down the drainage only to find another bull which I ended up shooting I figured he scored about 270" to 280" 6X6. I look back at it now and wonder if I would have been teamed up with Scott at first to begin with the rating of this hunt could of been different and quality of bull elk that I saw could have been better knowing Scott's years of experience as a guide. On another note the food was not all that good and never was hot by the time I eat considering what I paid ($5500) for this hunt. I think Jt and Allout have gotten more noticed because of his youtube videos and his first few years running Allout and needs to find away to get back to that going forward. It would have been nice to have gotten a follow up phone call from Jt in regards to my hunt and maybe even a bit of a refund of some money considering what happened which he never did. But I guess I was successful in the end with taking an elk which I could have done on my own. I'm sure other hunters experiences are different then mine and were Allout for them but mine sure wasn't. Knowing what I know now if I ever get a chance to hunt this unit again I would do my own camp and make sure I have an atv to get me down some of the roads as they are pretty gnarly. If you ever get a chance to hunt this unit and chose to go with Allout I hope your experience turns out better then mine did. read more
