Anyone have any private land outfitter hunts they recommend. Looking for a hunt for 2022 for a group of 6. I think NM will be just out of our price range, $7500 top dollar. Looking at Co, Mt, or Idaho? Or a public land hunt with high success. Most likely be half our group’s first and only elk...
Sure is. We all have zero Mt pts so not sure if we can pull a general tag with zero. I’ve got a call with Montana Trophy outfitters next week. Any other suggestions?
Hey how’s it going? Anyone have a broker they use? Looking for a guided elk hunt with some specifics for next year. I’m a co resident so mostly looking here but open to other options. I’ve got Wyoming points but no one else does so that’s pretty much out. These ease of hunting otc would...
So I’m a newer elk hunter. Only be at it 6yrs but have enjoyed pretty darn good success so far. Always hunted 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons in northern Co but will be heading down to the sw part of the state this year. The area we’re hunting has had little snow this year when usually there would all...
What’s everyone’s thoughts on this tactic? I use it with success and but I know some more conservative guys who don’t. I think with preseason scouting, map recon and general knowledge of how to move through the woods this can be done safety. Not moving through bedding or feeding areas etc. I...
Those units are gonna be packed with people burn or no burn. The accessibility from roads and proximity to the front range make it super popular. I haven’t been to that area this year but with the wet spring I’m assuming the grasses came in thick, so that with the burn will make it even more...
We’ve decided to hunt Southwest Co. I’m way more familiar with the area and know how to hunt there. After talking to a couple outfitters and looking at the numbers I’m looking for a better chance at taking an animal. I get plenty of time in the woods. I’ve been through a lot of Mt on fires...
CAElkhunter,
Have you hunted Mt recently? And do you have any references for outfitters? Also, did you hunt the opening week of general season or opening week of september rifle? The guys Ill be going with really want a "wilderness" experience, but I think we can easily get that in Southwest...
Has anyone hunted the early rifle season in Montana? Around how many non-res pts does it take to get it? Looking for a change to the colder 3rd season hunts I usually do. A warmer wilderness hunt during the rut sounds awesome.
Anyone have any recommendations for a solid outfitter for a backcountry wilderness hunt? I know there are a ton of threads on outfitters but few have mentioned wilderness hunts. My brother (the money behind the plan) wants to do a fully guided hunt next year. He’s non resident with only 1pp...
As stated I know this is still really early but I’m still riding my high from my first archery kill in 161. I’ve still got a cow tag for 2nd rifle but doing some early e-scouting for next year. My hunting buddy and I try to do a backcountry trip every other year Looking at 43 for otc. I’ve...
