YOUTH elk hunt recommendations

[bgbuck153]

My daughters turning 13 and ever since she’s been 6 she’s wanted me to take her on a horseback elk hunt. I’m looking for a rifle youth hunt or a hunt where I’d pay full price and hers on a discount. I contacted a few outfitters in New Mexico that sound really good for a youth only rut hunt but it’s a 20-25% draw odds which are good odds but it’s still a draw. I’m looking for next year or until she’s no longer considered a youth in the western states.

I would have suggested one of the youth encouragement hunts in New Mexico except they changed the rules this year and no longer allow nonresident youth to participate.

AZ has some cow youth hunts and they pay the resident youth price for license.

Colorado NR youth tags are cheap, if you find an outfitter you like.

I talked to the outfitter last night and he didn’t mention this.

I apply my son in several states. The only state that offers a true youth bull hunt is NM. Others basically offer discounted prices on the tags/licenses but u r in the adult pool. NM youth bull draw odds are worse then the adult hunts. But they r premium hunts
