Purgatoire Outfitters offers elk hunts on private ranches in southeast Colorado. Most people think of elk hunting in the high mountains and dark timber. Southeast Colorado offers great elk hunting in the juniper and pinon covered canyons and mesas, with elevations of 5,000-6,000 feet. The climate is more like Arizona or New Mexico, and combined with great genetics we harvest some truly outstanding bulls every year. We offer rifle hunts in September and early October when the bulls are bugling which makes for a very exciting hunt.
