Only West-side guide I have heard nothing but good about.
Then there is Roosevelt Elk Outfitters (REO)
I have not heard anything bad about them, but really have not heard much...
Gray Wolf Outfitters is the only one registered with WOGA that operates on the Penninsula..
:dunno:

I took care of Mike's truck a few times a few years back and talked to him a bit. Seemed like a knowledgeable guy.
If your buddy is coming down here to elk hunt, you might consider going to Idaho rather than WA. Just sayin...
No way would I come all the way down here from AK to hunt spikes and cows on the east side.

I would say Idaho as well, but if you guys do want to stick around the west side, mabey try the Margaret this year. It's over the counter now, should be lots of people but in archery season you should get some shots and see plenty of elk. :twocents:Scout it as soon as access opens, find escape routes to the "private" (restricted access) area and be there before daylight the first few days of the new season...
But really, I would scout the area you hunted last year, those spikes came from somewhere...
If you only saw 2 elk in twelve days, and they were spikes by themselves in September...
Go check out Elknuts website, and then go wear out a pair of boots sometime in August, maybe find an open ridge and check out the Perseid meteor shower August 12 -13, and listen for bugles in the night.
That should give you a drainage to hunt 30 days later....

What physical shape is your group in? I ask because depending on if you can hike in 2 miles v.s. 8 miles makes a huge difference on what I'd recommend to you.
What kind of hike? I'd like to find a place to set up camp and hike in,we were doing around 4-5 miles a day last year,it wasn't too hilly or brushy in most places.

I ask because in most cases I feel the further you are willing to go the better for westside elk. One spot I hunt I go in on foot a few miles and see decent elk and a few people per day. Another is 7 miles in on bike (about 2 hours) and I maybe see 2 people all season. The last spot takes me 5 hours to cover 13 miles and I have yet to see another person. The WA guide I know for Roosevelt is more or less the same, the more sweat you are willing to lose the better the chances
X2, if you hunt the first 2 miles, you just chase them to me...
I would rather have elk move INTO the drainage I am hunting than have them run OUT !!
I love elk season,
Is it September yet ?

Does the Margaret area have any decent places to set up a base camping area,and then hike in? I've tried looking but can't seem to find out,what can you shoot there? Cow,spike,3 point or better?
