Welcome to Colorado, and your chance to win the elk hunt of a lifetime. One lucky Outdoor Life reader will have the opportunity to do just that on our latest Grand Slam Adventure. Our Colorado hunt will include round-trip airfare and a 5-day hunt in the heart of the Rockies, where you’ll hunt trophy elk and relax in the luxurious Kessler Ranch lodge. Accommodations are strictly top-notch, as is the hunting. In addition to stalking big elk, the winner will also shoot at Kessler’s world-class 5-stand shotgunning range and hunt over superbly trained bird dogs for pheasants and chukar. As an added bonus, our winner will also have the opportunity to enjoy some fantastic flyfishing for trout.
One of Outdoor Life’s editors will accompany the winner on this adventure of a lifetime. We’ll also provide a cameraman to capture all the action, and the still photography and video will be posted on outdoorlife.com.
Our lucky winner will be outfitted with premium gear from our partners: SureFire, Zeiss, Mossberg, Remington and Cabela’s.

No gear list for a big-game hunt is complete without a quality flashlight. The new SureFire A2 LED Aviator® builds upon the best traits of SureFire’s original incandescent/LED hybrid flashlight. Its primary spot beam is now produced by a high-performance LED, providing greater output, a longer runtime and increased dependability. The Aviator’s ring of low-output LEDs flood the landscape with diffused white, green, blue or red light—your choice. The new Aviator gives you both a 110+ lumen white spot beam and a flood of low-signature colored light or white illumination in one package. A fluted body and two-way pocket clip provide convenient carry options.
For most applications, white light is best because it illuminates the world the way our eyes are most accustomed to seeing it.

Though marksmanship is always important to the success of any hunt, premium optics also play an essential role. Hunters who invest in the finest glass generally see more game, especially at first and last light, when trophy animals are on the move. Zeiss engineers understand this, which is why the company has developed a full line of superb optical tools for hunters. The following optics will be available for the Colorado Grand Slam:
