I am planning an elk hunt to Colorado this year. Does anyone know someone that rents horses or mules? I am planning on being near Steamboat Springs, if I draw the tag I want.

I really have to agree with Tom on this one. I've been on one guided horseback hunt and that was great when I had people to take care of the stock morning and evening so I could hunt. I also did it on my own twice and would never do it again. I didn't have any problem with the animals because I know horses, but the big problem is in a DIY it takes a lot of your valuable time in the morning and evening taking care of them. You also need to take the proper amount and type of feed with you and know for sure there is plenty of readily available water where you will be because a horse drinks a lot of water a day. If you don't know how to hobble or highline them or replace a thrown shoe, again, don't do it! I really would say you would be better off to have somebody readily available to haul your game out if you get anything and use all your time for the hunt itself. Take it from me that you will be exhausted enough without having to worry about proper care of a friggin horse on your trip!!!
Ever considered using llamas? I've used them on a number of occasions and will be doing so again this year.
