Title: I have a friend looking for an outfitter in Utah for Archery Bull Elk
Post by: Rob on July 06, 2015, 05:06:02 PM: A friend of mine got a Non Resident Bull tag for a highly sought after unit in Utah and is looking for an outfitter to guide him.

I know little to nothing about hunting in Utah so I thought I'd see if anyone here has had a good experience with any Utah guides.

The area is 3019 plateau, fish lake/ thousand lakes and the season is set for Aug 15 - Sept 11, 2015

Any info would be greatly appreciated and passed on. Thanks!

That is just what I've found to be the consensus on most public forums. I can imagine their cost is pretty steep as well. I have no first hand experience with mossback, but they do get some big bulls on the ground.

You could check with Bearpaw.

Dale has land in Utah for sure.
Not sure where but it would be worth checking with him. Mossback would likely cost 5 digit numbers for his services. His methods are questioned by lots of people.

Post by: ELKBURGER on July 07, 2015, 06:00:08 AM: I know a couple guys that have used Mossback and they were very happy and satisfied with the dedication of the spotters and guides. If Bearpaw guides for elk in Utah, hit him up. There are many positive testimonials about him from guys on this forum :tup:

This isn't one of the units that we normally guide in. I do have time available during this hunt period if you can't find another guide with time available who regularly guides this area.

What do you imagine the delta in tips are? 20% or more?

They may be a little cheaper than mossback, but they take great Bulls every year!
