Welcome to Timber to Table Guide Service in western Colorado. We aren’t your typical hunting outfitter. As our name implies, we are focused on helping you put wild, healthy and delicious meat on your table.
Elk is about as good as it gets in terms of meat.
One of our goals during your guided hunt in the West Elk Mountains of western Colorado is to educate you on how to process your own animal so in the future you’ll have the skills to bring whatever game you’re pursuing from the timber to your own table.
As much as we love food though, the hunt is equally revered.
We are passionate about teaching respect for the animals, taking care of the meat they provide us, understanding the importance of our public lands and remembering to have a lot of fun while keeping an eye towards adventure. We are excited to offer a series of fantastic guided elk and deer hunt packages. We work especially hard to get youth and women hunting for the first time, and can accommodate any type of hunter and will work hard to make sure we give you a memorable and empowering experience.
“I wanted to write and say thank you for hosting my dad and me through our time in Colorado. This was a new hunting experience for me and I am very grateful for this opportunity. Our guide, Josh, was very kind and optimistic through the whole hunt. We saw more elk in one night than I had in my entire life. I learned how to be quieter in the woods. I will always remember the experience, and the emotions that came with it. The cabin was very warm and comfortable. The food was delicious, and you could tell that there was a lot of effort put into it. Overall, the experience was once in a lifetime, and our family is enjoying the meat. Thank you again for all of the patience and support. I hope to go elk hunting again Someday.”
