We have several different types of elk hunts to choose from. These hunts all take place in National Forests and BLM land. Each hunt has a limited numbers of licenses issued: this ensures low hunting pressure and quality elk herds. The odds of drawing a license range from good to excellent depending on what type of hunt you choose. Guaranteed licenses are available for an additional fee. These are fully guided hunts, with one guide for two hunters (one guide to one hunter packages are available). We use 4-wheel drives to get to various locations and hunt on foot. We have had very consistent success on our elk hunts and the majority of our hunters have had an opportunity to take a mature bull.
