The Alton CWMU is comprised of 22 private ranches located on the Northwest corner of the famed Paunsaugunt. Color Country Outfitters has exclusive hunting rights on all of these properties which totals more than 46,000 acres. The properties have been managed by CCO for more than 15 years for the highest quality trophy deer. The CWMU has consistently produced 190-210" class deer. It is considered one of the premier trophy mule deer hunts in the West.
CCO harvests only 12 trophy deer each year on the Alton CWMU and availability is very limited. CCO also offers 6-8 management buck hunts each year. Management hunts target older bucks ranging from 170-185". Archery hunting, as well as any-weapon hunting is offered. Season dates are flexible from mid-August thru mid-October with most of the archery hunting in August, most of the any-weapon hunting in September.
Accommodations will be at the Alton lodge (located centrally in the CWMU) which include individual bedroom/bathroom, TV/SAT, telephone, cell service, wi-fi access, full-time cook, etc. Guests are welcome.
Hunts are 5-day (Tuesday-Saturday). Guiding is generally 2 guides per hunter. We are flexible in hunting styles and try to accommodate each hunter's preferences. Most of the hunting is spot/stalk, accessibility is easy - trucks used to access all areas, elevation 6000-9000'.
Cost of trophy hunt is $13,500 - $18,500, depending on weapon and hunt dates. Cost of management hunt is $5,500. All accommodations, guiding, permits/licenses included in price.
