WELCOME TO Elkheaven.com. We have articles and information including photographs and videos as a result of countless number of hours in the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. This site is all about elk with elk photos, elk antlers, elk information and elk videos. We hope you enjoy the photographs; articles and links to other sites we feel will complete the story of Elk.

Scouting Trip June 2008: We put in a lot of miles a few days after the new moon to scout for new calves. We visited game units 18,28,37,38,39, and 181 in search of elk. Most of the trip we concentrated on lower elevation-wintering grounds since it was a difficult winter. The good news is the elk survived very well. We hope you enjoy the photos. More photos and much more detail will be updated for those units on our scouting pages.

Our scouting pages will be updated soon with valuable information about Colorado State Trust Lands. Including directions to them, photos, and when the best seasons are to hunt them. We have detailed 30 quality places to hunt in Colorado. Public land areas you can go and actually see elk during your hunt.

Testimonial

"We recently purchased and watched all three of your elk DVDs. Nowhere
else have I seen a more intimate and personal look at the lives of elk during
the rut. Some scenes made my heart pound! I learned a lot and am
inspired." Don from Oregon,2007.
