 I
first hunted with Action Adventures in 2001. My group hunted the 3rd
rifle season and I got a 5x5 on the third day of the hunt.
Before going on the hunt I had planned on taking a break
from hunting trips for a while. But, was so impressed with the beauty of the
area in which we hunted, the thrill of hunting Rocky Mountain elk, and the
effort put out by all of the Action Adventure personnel that I booked another
hunt about a week after getting home.
I wasn’t the only one in my group of (6) who was favorably
impressed. After getting home & telling our stories to friends our original
group of (6) doubled in size and we booked two separate hunts.
The second hunt I went on was in 2003. We hunted the 1st
season this time. I hunted with my brother Troy. Jay Mitchell guided us. We
left camp on horseback
with the moonlight reflecting off the freshly fallen snow. It was cold and we
had been riding quite a while when we heard bulls bugling. It was Awesome! We
started glassing and saw the elk. We then tied up the horses and went after
them. This was Troy’s first elk hunt so we had agreed on him shooting 1st
if we happened to be together when we got into the elk. We got to 320 yards from
the “Monster” and he put it down. When we got to the downed elk, Jay told me to
head up to the top of the ridge, because he knew there were more elk out there.
I climbed up and started glassing. Spotting more elk, I climbed down and told
Jay where I had seen them. He then started looking & spotted (2) bulls that I
hadn’t seen. We started out after them and got within shooting range. I got one
of the bulls. So we had two bulls down before noon the 1st day.
I have now booked a third hunt.
In general, I believe we were very fortunate finding Action
Adventures. The hunting area is breathtaking (in more ways than one) the guides
seem to want the hunter to get the elk as much as the hunter himself. The food
is terrific. And the overall experience is something I would, and have
recommended to anyone.
Sincerely

I would give Action Adventures a AAA rating. Jay Mitchell
runs a
first class operation. His guides are second to none. The facilities
are excellent as well as the food and horses. The two years I hunted
with Jay I seen an abundance of elk, including many excellent bulls.
And yes the scenery is excellent".
Thanks,
Gary and Duane Zuverink

It was more than I had anticipated. I would recommend going on a hunt with
Action Adventures to anyone. I am going back. It was a memorable, exciting
hunt with first rate staff, a first class camp, and great food. A word of
advise get in shape. Thanks Jay

This was my first elk hunt in Colorado. Jay, his guides, and the cook run
a top notch camp. They helped make my trip fun and exciting. I would
highly recommend Action Adventure Outfitters for a fun and exciting,
wilderness hunting trip. Thanks,

In the past 12 years I've elk hunted with three other
outfitters in two other states. On these hunts I felt like I'd just wasn't
getting the experiences that I had imagined elk hunting to be like. Then
eight years ago I booked a hunt with Action Adventures. I was impressed with
Jay in the fact that he was extremely honest in how he described his hunting
area, chances of taking game, and how best to prepare for a hunt. After
going on that first hunt I knew I'd found the right outfitter. Jays camps
are very comfortable, the riding stock is of exceptionable quality, the best
guides who know the country and animals and some of the best grub to be
found. Now after six hunts and some fine animals I've just booked the
seventh hunt. Keep up the good work Jay, and thanks. I couldn't be happier
with my hunts and the animals I've been able to harvest.
(3 bulls in the last 3 hunts!!!)
Thanks,

For several years I had been applying for hunting points to use on a Black
powder hunt for Elk. After waiting all of those years to get the points I
wanted to be sure that hunt that I booked would be worth the wait. I booked
my hunt with Jay Mitchell and Action Adventures and was not disappointed!
The hunting experience was outstanding!
We took a horseback ride through several valleys to arrive at our camp for
the week. The camp was located in a secluded valley that the view alone made
the trip worth it. For the entire week we never saw another hunter.
Ever morning we awoke to a hardy breakfast and then a quite ride or walk
into some great elk hunting country. Every day we saw Elk and had several
opportunities to take nice bulls
Jay was my guide for this trip and his knowledge on Elk hunting and ability
to call Elk are unmatched.
I shot my Elk after Jay moved us into a cluster of bulls that were busy
bugling back and forth. After a few calls from Jay my bull held his ground
and we were able to stalk into shooting range for a clean kill.
I am planning my return to Action Adventures for another quality hunt.
Jay thanks for a great hunting experience!
