  • OUR STORY

     

    3rd generation Colorado natives, the Wood family ventured to Meeker in 2011 to begin "Code of the West Outfitters". The 1970's generation - helped their dad pack and set camps at a young age and it was a natural transition. All are experienced with elk, moose, deer, mountain lion, bear, bobcat and coyotes. Units 12 and 24 in Meeker Colorado are geared toward cow and bull elk hunts, while bear-moose-dear are becoming more prevalent, we focus on the big game that is most available. Though this area is not a "trophy unit", the memories are the true trophy.

     

    In addition, Jared Wood and "Hound Town Enterprises" in Gypsym Colorado have the best lion hunting hounds in the region. Mom, Dad, sister, brothers and extended family all have a part.

     

    We have made some of our greatest friends with these outdoor adventures and endeavors and it is a true family business. Our primary goal for every season, is to provide the best service and an unforgettable experience.
