Elk

In contrast to most other outfitters, our elk hunts are 1 on 1 and we usually guide only 1 or 2 hunters for each hunt.  Most of our elk hunting is between 6,500 and 9,500 feet.   All the units have some great bulls available.  Differences in terrain, hunter density, elk density and type of accommodations give our clients many options.   We do not use horses or ATV’s.  Taking bigger elk usually requires more walking.  Unit 34 has lots of drivable roads and the most hunters.  Unit 36 has a few good roads and fewer hunters.

Weather permitting, we spot with high quality optics to determine exactly which bulls we want to pursue.  We nearly always have one dedicated spotter for each hunt.  Plus each hunter gets a dedicated guide.  After evaluating our options we drive to the closest point of approach then hunt on foot.  We don’t rely heavily on calling because elk tend to get call shy after the bow hunters interact with them for 3 weeks.  We usually cape and bone out the elk where they fall.  Then we pack them out in frame-type backpacks. 

 100% opportunity to shoot during more than 40 elk hunts conducted since 1997.  Nearly half took home 6 x 6 bulls (or better).
