Out West Guides

WHITE-TAILED PTARMIGAN HUNTING

OutWest Guides is one of the only Colorado outfitter to offer this unique horseback upland bird hunt for ptarmigan in the Colorado Rockies.

HORSEBACK ADVENTURE IN THE WILDERNESS

Our hunts are conducted in the wilderness surrounding Marble, Colorado on horseback. We access the wilderness whichever way is most productive–horseback, or by hiking. This is truly a unique wilderness adventure that is very limited in scope. We have only a few days a year to offer this special hunt, so book early if you’re interested.

TOP-NOTCH GUN DOGS

We select only the finest pointers to guide our high-country upland bird hunts.  Our dogs are superbly conditioned and used to running hard at 11,800 feet in elevation. Not every dog can find birds, either. Sometimes these birds confuse even experienced upland bird dogs from lower elevations.

WHO ELSE DOES IT?

There are a couple of other outfitters who mention bird hunting on their websites. We’ve been seriously hunting birds with upland gun dogs and shotguns since 1986. Very few if any other outfitter in Colorado offers horseback birds hunts, and no one else combines the serious knowledge of upland bird hunting, horsemanship, and outfitting in the Colorado high country like OutWest Guides. OutWest Guides was featured in the March/April 2006 issue of Shooting Sportsman magazine, considered one of the premiere sporting magazines published today.
