Common questions

How do I know a southwest Colorado outfitter is legitimate?

Check that they hold a current Colorado outfitter registration — state law requires it. Every outfitter here shows its registration number so you can confirm it in the DORA license lookup, and we only list outfitters whose own website confirms guided big-game hunting.
