The typical hunting season runs October through the end of November in Crested Butte. Depending on what type of game you would like to score, there is a great spot for you in the area. Stalk big game in the mountains of Gunnison National Forest or hunt for fowl in the West Elk Wilderness Area. The Sawatch and Saguache Ranges are also good places to hunt everything from elk to antelope. Rent four wheelers or horses, and enhance your hunting experience.
There are many local outfitters to choose from if you would like access to special private land permits and expert advice on migration corridors. For longer hunting trips, there are many base camps in the area to stay overnight after a long day of hunting. Once you have gotten your prize, simply take it to one of the local meat packers, who will gladly chop, season, package and send your game home for you to enjoy.
