Scouting Services

GMUResearch scouting services puts feet on the ground for people that cannot afford or have the time to travel to Colorado to scout out a hunting area. We specialize in finding hunting area's on public land in Colorado.

Our scouts average over 15 years of hunting experience in Colorado and other western states. We live here, this is our back yard. We would much rather spend the day checking out your area then mowing the grass.

This is a scouting service. As such we will NEVER be in the field with you. We are not outfitters or guides. Nor will we ever negotiate trespass fees or access onto private property.

We blend the information we get from our field trips with other modern resources, to include this website, DOW, and the NDIS mapping website to develop a broad picture of your hunting area. This information is returned back to you in a spiral bound report, and will include the following:

    • Average success rates, hunter pressure, and harvest statistics
    • Drawing summary data, which shows you how many preference points it took to draw that hunt code last year
    • Detailed maps of the your area to include, topographical/Satellite photos, way points of seen animals, potential bedding areas, feeding areas, water holes, and recently used trails
    • Camping areas
    • Potable water sources
    • Recommend tactics for your area and hunting season
    • Equipment advise
      • Clothing
      • Camp gear
      • Hunting gear
      • Rifle, caliber, bullets
      • Game calls for Muzzleloader and Archery seasons
      • Vehicle options
    • Animal retrieval options
    • ATV and horse usage rules
    • Closest facilities
      • Gas
      • Food
      • Restaurants
      • Hotels
    • Nearest cell phone coverage
    • Nearest sporting goods stores
    • Nearby meat processors
    • Nearby taxidermists
    • Expected weather conditions
    • Any pictures, or video of animals we see during our scouting trip
    • Directions from the nearest 'major' town or city

Our fee is $600. This is a small price to pay to help ensure your hunting season is successful

We do NOT guarantee you will actually harvest an animal. That is part of hunting. But we do guarantee that the information we provide is accurate at the time we published the report.
