Hey guys I am new to the forum and completely green to elk hunting. I have toyed around with hiring an outfitter for my first elk hunt since I’ve never hunted them before. I have read a lot about elk habits but I would like to gain knowledge before I jump into it and do it myself.
First question I have is do any of y’all have an outfitter you prefer and would recommend, preferably a rifle hunt for my first time.
Also the biggest issue I have is I am completely dumbfounded when I start looking at application periods, preference points, units to draw for, and even what state I would like to hunt. Theres so much information out there it’s a little overwhelming to me. I would like to start at least applying for areas now so I can have points built up for when I branch out on my own and do a DIY. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
