Hunting Steamboat Lake Outfitters is a year-round, full-time professional hunting and outfitting organization, specializing in fully guided Red Barn Base Camp hunts, Zirkel wilderness hunts, or drop camps. In order to provide the best and most successful hunt possible, we personally interview each prospective client to answer any questions you may have. The state of Colorado is divided into Game Management Units.

Trophy deer hunters are taken into the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness Area GMU # 14. Game bird hunts are provided in the Clark area and on the eastern plains of Colorado. Hunting License Most of our hunts are guaranteed tags sold over the counter. Hunters must provide proof of a Hunter Education Class when purchasing a license. For hunts requiring preference points you will need to complete a Colorado Big Game application and send it in for hunting either the 1st or 4th rifle season.
