Big Game Hunting > Elk Hunting
New Sponsor, Elk Hunt Consulting
Indian Summer:
For a couple years now a good friend from Washington has been pointing elk hunters, or wannabe elk hunters, from this forum in my direction. So after some consideration and poking around on here I’ve decided to shell out a few bucks and become a sponsor. Dale from Bearpaw Outfitters and I are old aquaintences from crossing paths at outdoor shows in the past.
A little about myself: Originally from Pa, home of giant bulls that you’ll never draw a tag to hunt, I’ve been chasing elk in western Montana for over 30 years. I was a licensed outfitter there and owned Indian Summer Outfitters for 13 years. I’ve also done some guiding in Wyoming as well as Washington’s west side around Naselle and Rosburg. So I know a place or two to kill elk. I sold my outfit in 2012 to a good friend from Montana who worked for me the entire time I owned the business. That’s when the fun began!
I punched my elk tag every year up there and then I had the time to start doing the same down in Wyoming. I’ve helped a lot of people do the same along the way as well. So one day as I debated on where I would hunt the following year it dawned on me that I can’t hunt all of my honey holes.... but I could probably find some interest from others who might want to. With the rising cost of elk tags I decided to start a business that would hopefully at least pay for my own elk hunt each year. So Headin’ West Hunt Consulting was born!
I had always enjoyed teaching and weaned lots of my clients on to hunting elk on their own. So the do it yourself hunter is who I cater to. I provide detailed hunt plans for both Montana and Wyoming to hunters with a wide variety of goals and abilities. From young guys to old, veteran hunters and rookies my job is to set my clients up with a plan that fits. I include a set of topo maps for each member of your group marked with all kinds of information including hunting routes to work the area. You also get a set of written instructions to walk you through how to hunt the area. I’ll tell you everything from where to park and camp, or set up your pack in camp to how to access the hot spits as well as everything you need to know down where to have your elk processed locally if you want to. Once you purchase a hunt plan you are free to email, text, or call as often as you want for as long as you need to so I can answer any questions you or your partners might have to make sure you are ready to put your plan to good use. I’ve had guys text me saying “Spotted 2 bulls bedded at the head of the X Creek drainage right NOW... what should we do?” I enjoy doing whatever it takes to help my hunters score.
You can look up some of my reviws on Bowsite dot com. I can provide references if you want them. My elk hunters have an extremely high success rate. With the cost of an elk license and considering how valuable your vacation time is let me help speed up your learning curve. Get started hunting elk in a place you’ll look forward to calling home and going back to year after year instead of driving home disappointed with empty coolers. Quit paying an outfitter every year when you can do this on your own way cheaper.
When I first started this business I thought my main customers would be the newbies. The guys with no experience who didn’t know where to begin. I was wrong. It’s the hunters and their partners who have tried it 2 or 4 times with little or no luck who are the ones who realize the value of what I have to offer. I always smile when those rookies more often than not call me back a year later telling me about their elkless elk hunt down in Colorado.
By the way I still book outfitted hunts for the owner of my old business if you want a guided, semi guided, or drop camp hunt. Enough for now. Good luck to all in the drawings and best wishes with your 2018 hunting adventures!

Sounds like a new business model, good luck!
Did I miss the price on your site? Or that based on the hunt?

Cool idea. Its funny I was just talking to my wife about why nobody with the knowledge has done this. I was thinking GPS tagged photos of the "Big Boy" in the area along with the maps to stir excitement. Bone addicts photos came to mind!! Great idea hope it goes well. :tup:
