Less strenuous Elk Hunt

[Healthy Scratch]

I hunt elk with (2) buddies on a 3-4 year basis. 2-of us have done very well. The 3rd guy is physically limited and has not gotten an elk (yet). Are there any hunts that are less physically taxing? He would need flatter ground. I've heard that late season cow hunts might work for him. Any suggestions? (We are just trying to get him on the scoreboard.)

He sounds like an ideal client for a ranch hunt.

Barring a physical disability... generally the response I have to rough hunting conditions is to work harder in the offseason. I'd rather help my friend get healthier than lower the bar. But if it's an insurmountable health obstacle you're gonna have to think outside the box. Everyone wants an easier hunt, so anything that looks like it's good elk habitat and easy hunting is gonna get hit hard.

Instead look for unorthodox territory and scout hard. First thing that comes to mind is I've cut big elk tracks in sasgebrush country while hunting an area mostly known for mule deer.

An actual hunt or a meat shoot?
