Guided Elk.....where would you go?
« on: February 23, 2018, 11:39:05 AM »
If a guy wanted a guided elk hunt (trophy), where would he go??  Lets pretend cost is not an issue (well within reason...LOL) and no High Fence hunt.  Would prefer a 340+ class bull for the money and assume it would be a ranch hunt with high success rates. 

Where would you look or have you gone with good success and good customer service. 

......and go!!

That would be on my short list. It takes about 8 years for a non res to draw unit 7, however.

More looking for a quality bull.  I am turning 41 this year and am starting to think I will never draw in this state.  I have shot elk over my years....just never a nice bull.  I hunt wilderness and definitely enjoy the "hunt" and "Scenery"....but this quest is for a bull worth mounting and putting on my all.   May be the only big bull I ever shoot.   :tup:

It was like 10 to 15 grand there if I remember right. I seen some success pics over the last few years and I believe 340 is the bottom end of the scale. :tup:

I would probably call him up:

I don't care if I kill the biggest bull on the hill, I just want a great camp, fun people to hunt with, hunting harder than I want and a chance at a 300" bull if I am lucky.
