Elk Hunting Information

This web site is designed to help the serious elk hunter bring home the bacon (elk that is). A serious elk hunter doesn't necessarily mean a trophy hunter. A serious hunter may be someone who just loves to get out in the outdoors with his hunting buddies and have a good time around the camp fire if he gets game; great, if not he still has a good time talking elk hunting. Whether you have been hunting a life time or this is the first time out, rifle, muzzleloader, or archery, the guides and outfitters listed in these pages can help you enjoy your hunt more. As we all know the times are changing and this includes the way we hunt compared to 10 years ago. The elk, deer, bear, mountain lion and other wild game are getting pushed back further into the mountains because of all the new developement going on. The mountains that you hunting your elk on last year might, this year, be sporting a new lodge. The migration routes of the elk and deer are changing because of more people being out in the mountains with recreation vehicles now. The meadows and hills where the elk could go to calve now have hikers and bikers and campers moving through them. The advantage of planning your hunting trip with an outfitter is that they will know these things in advance.
The outfitters spend their time in the hills all year watching the animals movements, so they have a good idea where to find them when hunting time comes around. Giving you a good elk hunting trip is their lively hood. It doesn't take long for the "bad outfitters" to be put out of business. The good ones generally have the same people coming back year after year. The only way that they can do this is to give you a good, fun, hunting trip that produces game for you to take home. If you want to hunt on your own, no problem. They will pack you in to a good hunting spot and leave you to "do it your way". If you want to have a guided or semi-guided hunt you can pick the outfitters that will give you this service as well. There are so many different ways to take advantage of the hunts that these outfitters offer.

Enjoy your hunt....Life is short!
