Testimonials
"Vicki and I have hunted with Larry & Laura Amos of Winterhawk outfitters in Colorado and it was amazing to say the least. They run a first class operation with all effort put forth to make your hunt a very memorable one. But don't take it from us, check out how long they have been in business and you will see why they are still going strong! They know what it takes and do everything in their power to make your dreams come true. If you want a great western hunt with a great outfit call Larry & Laura, but talk with Laura, she's a lot nicer....LOL"

I just wanted to send a "Thank you" for the greatest vacation I have ever had. Jerry is a superb guide and knows the area and game he is hunting for, on an intimate basis. I learned more about elk hunting during my time spend with him than I could have in any book or magazine. I am glad I killed out early, and got to enjoy the time in camp. The entire operation is in my opinion first class. Everyone who had a hand in my elk hunt were the most "customer oriented cowboys" I have ever met. I will be trying to get back for another hunt. I am also bringing my family out for a summer vacation as soon as possible. -Jeff Lybrook
Winterhawk offers the ultimate Colorado wilderness adventure. Great guides, great horses, great meals, breath taking scenery and loads of elk. What more could you ask for? Returning to the Flattops Wilderness to hunt with Winterhawk is something I look forward to year after year. - David Bloch, President Outdoor Edge Cutlery Corp.
I just wanted to Thank you both for a great experience. There is always a little apprehension when picking an outfitter, hoping that you get the right one. I feel I got the right one! The food was great and all your staff was friendly and helpful. If I was to do another hunt or even a fishing trip you would be on the top of my list. I have been in many other Western States before so I knew how beautiful is it but the Flat Tops Wilderness was amazing. You have a great backyard. Thanks again for a memorable hunt. - David Ripley
Luke and I just wanted to drop a line to you and send our heartfelt thanks for the great memories that we will always cherish. Excellent food, great help and we met a lot of good people. Special thanks to Jason. Without his help, the trip wouldn't have been the same. We really enjoyed meeting all of you. Hopefully we can meet again someday. In the meantime, we are sure passing the word about what a top notch outfit you folks have. Thanks again. -Carl and Luke Musch

I want to tell you and Laura how much I appreciate you giving us the opportunity to experience a wonderful hunt. Your camp is unbelievable.

Even though we were at a drop camp, it was the most enjoyable and relaxing time I had in years. Thank you very much. -Dennis Beine
I can't imagine a hunt being much better. I come with 2 good buddies, Mike Cote and Don Costa. Winterhawk made us all feel right at home like one of the family and if that wasn't enough, we all got lions! Beautiful. -Ronald Smith, Juneau AK
You're a man of your word. You promisedus (my two sons and me) the hunt of a lifetime and you delivered more than I could have ever believed possible. When I returned home, I realized you did not do anything special for us...just gave us the hunt you give everyone who choosed you as their outfitter. To simply say thanks doesn't seem enough. Please give our thanks to your staff. -Paul L. Griswold, Morrisville VT
Thank you once again for a wonderful time. We so enjoyed ourselves and everyone at camp. The hunting was awesome. Thanks again for a wonderful trip. -Lee and Tiffany Lakosky, Columbia Heights MN
Our elk hunt exceeded everyone's expectations. We had a great time. Four out of our group of five were successful. We were treated as if you had known us for years. We'll be coming back again. - Doug Nicoson, Horton MI
Our entire group had a fantastic time. We saw an incredible amount of game. Keep up the good work and we plan on hunting with you again in a couple years. -Jeff Shiery, East Leroy MI
Winterhawk's entire team was courteous, hard working and pleasant. They rate 100% plus. This was an excellent Western outdoor hunt. The mules were surefooted and cooperative. The tents, tack, equipment etc all excellent. I think you have all the bases covered. Thank you and your team for the knowledge, experiences and friendship. - Richard Bahensky, Anselmo NE
Had a great time. I didn't fill my tag, but one in our party did. I got the experience I came for and that was more important to me than killing an elk. -Troy Titchenell, Kingwood WV
Can't wait to come back. Our hunt with Winterhawk was not a hunt, it was an experience of a lifetime. I will never forget my first elk hunting trip. Thank you for the memories. -Ralph Johnson, Jackson MI
Although I was not successful, you delivered more than expected. I will highly recommend you and plan on returning myself in the future. -Jeff Ladd, Grand Ledge MI
We've hunted with you three times and have enjoyed the trips very much. This year I took a nice 5x5 bull and even got a kiss from the boss's daughter! -Lloyd VanAlstine, Boyne City MI
We chose Winterhawk as our outfitter because you were honest; brutally honest at times...but we'd like it no other way. Our trip was for my father and I thank you for making a life long dream come true. Although we didn't bring game home, we all had the opportunity and couldn't ask or expect more than that. - Phil Kluge, Marshall MI
I have hunted with other outfitters and would rank you at the top. I know I got a great animal but success or not, the hunt was a great life experience. I'll definitely be seeing you again. I feel like I've made some great new friends. - Gary Schaub, West Seneca NY
I would recommend your outfit to anyone looking for a great fair chase elk hunt. The staff was friendly, helpful and hard working...all a hunter could ask for. -Larry McMillan, Slippery Rock PA
Fantastic trip. I look forward to my next hunt with Winterhawk. I see no reason to go anywhere else. The whole experience was fantastic. - Scott Bonnema, Forest Lake MN
We thoroughly enjoyed our hunt with you folks. the elk could have cooperated better, but that's elk hunting. We've never been with an outfitter with such good facilities and equipment and the same goes for your staff. Each and everyone was friendly, helpful, and entertaining. -Tony Poccia, Sauquoit MI
Having just spent eleven wonderful days in one of your drop camps, I want to say thank you. You and your staff were professional, friendly, and went out of the way to meet our needs. The camp was great with a lot of room for the four of us. We all have decided we will be hunting with you again and will recommend you and your company. -Page Neve, Pierson MI
Thank you for the best hunting experience that my son, Christian and I have enjoyed. The guides were very professional, the wranglers always helpful. The elk were plentiful with many close encounters. The accommodations and food were the best. We can't wait to return to Winterhawk for the cowboy experience and more elk hunting. -Bob Bartholomay, Flemington NJ
I want to thank you for the many years of great elk hunting. I've been to various outfitters throughout the years and yours is by far a first class operation. You and your guides do everything possible to show us a memorable time and assist us in getting elk. Some outfitters make it sound too good so they can get your money; yours is as good as it gets. - Paul Sabesky, Tehachapi CA
