Soap Mesa Outfitters offers 5 full days quality guided elk and mule deer hunts in southwest Colorado. We cater to rifle hunters. Conserving our local herds is very important to us, so we only allow five or six hunters per season.
Unit 54 is our game management unit. We sit north of Blue Mesa Reservoir, west of Soap Creek, and bordering our private property to the north is the Gunnison National Forest. Our hunting area is the spectacular over 3500-acre private ranch and our National Forest Permit, GUN 1392, provides an additional 8000+ acres with near utter seclusion due to its limited access. The terrain elevation ranges from 7,500 to 9,500 feet and is extremely easy to hunt. To get where we need to be, we use 4×4 vehicles and side by side ATV’s. Horses are not used.
We are located about 40 miles from Montrose, Colorado; 25 miles from Gunnison, Colorado; and each has a municipal airport. If you wish to fly in, we can pick you up at either airport. If you choose to drive your vehicle, we will meet you near the Blue Mesa Reservoir on Highway 92.
Before heading to camp, you must have your hunting license, hunter safety card, and other personal essential items. To verify that everyone’s rifles and scopes are sighted in we strongly suggest a stop by a rifle range, either in Montrose or Gunnison, Colorado.
During your stay with us, you will be warm and comfortable in our heated mountain cabin which has hot and cold running water; electricity is powered by a quiet generator, two bathrooms – one with a sizeable hot shower, two toilets, and two sinks. We provide oversized bunk beds and mattresses with the top bunks customarily used for storage and personal gear. Our camp cook takes care of all the meals in a fully furnished kitchen.
Bring your gear, sleeping bags, binoculars, rifle, and any other necessities. For further information or questions about any aspect of our hunt, call us or fill out our contact form. We will be happy to assist you!
