Bull Basin Guides & Outfitters, LLC, Dean Billington

Bull Basin Guides and Outfitters is a premier guide service based in Kremmling, Colorado, that specializes in “Fair Chase” hunting and professional fly fishing. The operation is largely defined by its focus on private land access, maintaining exclusive hunting rights on several distinct properties including Sunnyside, Williams Fork, Pinto Valley, and Piney Valley. By utilizing these private ranches, the outfitter is able to manage hunting pressure effectively, providing clients with superior opportunities for Elk and Mule Deer away from the crowds found on public lands.

The hunting program is diverse and spans multiple seasons and species:

• Elk and Mule Deer: They offer specialized hunts across their various ranch locations, catering to archery, muzzleloader, and rifle hunters.
• Mountain Lion: The Bull Basin lion team is highly regarded for their success in tracking trophy toms during the winter months.
• Black Bear: They provide guided bear hunts that complement their big game seasons.
• Fly Fishing: Beyond the hunt, the operation is a destination for fly fishing, offering guided trips on pristine private streams that are popular for family outings and father-daughter adventures.

Operating under special use permits from the White River and Arapaho National Forests, as well as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the outfit combines rugged mountain expertise with a high standard of service. Their website serves as a comprehensive resource for license information and past hunt galleries, showcasing a “Wall of Fame” that spans over a decade of successful harvests. Whether you are pursuing a monster tom mountain lion or fly fishing a quiet Colorado stream, Dean Billington and his team provide a professional, result-oriented experience roote
