CHGS packs your party in and out of camp with mules and/or horses and provides riding horses for each member of your party. Harvested game is packed out from the site of the kill. When checking camps, wranglers bring an extra riding horse (in addition to the pack animals) so a member of your party can ride with our packers to the location of your elk or deer.

An Equipped Drop Camp is our most popular hunt package. It includes a wall tent, wood stove, complete set of cooking and eating utensils, propane cook stove, propane heater, cots, foam pads, dishes, axes, saws, lanterns, camp gear and everything else to meet your camping and hunting needs. Guests are only responsible for their food, personal gear, rifle or bow, and hunting license.

A Drop Camp is just that - we pack you, your gear, food and tent into one of our permitted campsites and "drop" you where you hunt on your own. Then we pack you out. A Full Service Camp includes all of the items in an equipped drop camp AND we furnish all the food for meals and snacks, a cook, and a camp hand to cut wood, help the cook and assist you with all your needs.

Four point or better antler restrictions have been in effect in our area for several years which accounts for the increase number of mature bulls in the herd. It is not at all unlikely that all CHGS' hunters will see legal bulls and most will have an opportunity to take a trophy size bull (300 Boone and Crockett points or better).
Hunting originates from pack-in camps, either in the Sweetwater Creek or Turret Creek drainages. Some camps are located at high altitudes (11,000ft. or higher) on the Flattops plateau in early fall. Other camps at lower elevations provide excellent opportunities for elk, both early in the fall and then later after the high camps are snowed out.
