Montana elk hunt?

[tntrker]

Ya’ll may have read earlier about me leaving a Montana guided hunt in Sept. I was just going to eat the tag after all the disappointment, time, and money, BUT, if anyone knows of a RELIABLE guide with an cancellation or opening, please let me know. I can fly out Wednesday. I was going to go on Moose hunt in Alberta after someone cancelled, but that guide decided Saturday against going out again after his last two hunts (20 days total) seeing no moose. Montana only as I have a general biggame combo. Thanks

Only guides I know with openings at this time of season are the kind that will bring you cold McDonald's for dinner. We all know how that worked out last time!

Not being facetious....why not hunt the area you were in diy? Sounds like it definitely had elk.

I just don't have the gear and can't afford to hunt out there regularly to justify buying all the gear. Also, I'd probably kill myself packing one out, even though I do Crossfit 5 days a week, packing meat out in multiple trips is a whole other ballgame, I would imagine....

Waypoint Outfitters just had a cancellation and I've followed them since they bought the business. I was always intimated about the all hiking and looked for someone with horses. Time to man up and git er done. So I'll be out there with them in Nov. Thanks for all the PM's and help.

Good luck on hunt take 2, please post how it goes. There's nothing wrong with wanting the niceties of a guided hunt, i did one this fall, but your excuses are terrible.

The gear is but a small fraction of what an outfitted hunt costs, and you could sell it for a small loss after

Also, I'd probably kill myself packing one out, even though I do Crossfit 5 days a week, packing meat out in multiple trips is a whole other ballgame, I would imagine....

Fat dudes who don't see a gym all year pack out bulls on the regular. You just have to deal with discomfort a little and not be a pussy about it.

The savagery of the responses in this thread warm my heart.

Good luck on your hunt. I hope you get to punch that tag and have an enjoyable experience.
