What to Expect
Elk hunts are fully guided and conducted on public land. Low hunting pressure, quality habitat, and experienced local guides give hunters an excellent opportunity at mature bulls. Hunts are physically demanding and take place between 7,000 and 9,000 feet in rugged terrain. References can be provided upon request.
