    Am I looking for a unicorn?

    First of all TV, internet have made everyone think 300 inch bulls walk around everywhere on the hoof. They are there but they are not the common bull you will see on normal elk tags. 300 inch is very doable depending on your price limit. If you want high success it is a LO tag or private ranch...

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    270 is a crazy deer tag. You would see some monsters if you wanted to hunt it. Hunted Elk in 270 and saw monster bucks every day. I would go hunt it.

    New Mexico advice

    When hunting Elk, I think it is always a good idea to have a gun that you can shoot out to 400 -500 just in case they need whacking at that range......

    Arizona late rifle bull elk hunt

    Drew a late tag years ago. I had a good unit but the bulls were very scattered and in isolated places. Shot a 6 x 6 but it was a difficult hunt and we searched a lot. The bigger Bulls had retreated deep after the rut. Not a bad hunt but nothing like the early rifle hunts in AZ

    Guided elk hunt outfitter

    Elk hunting while still a great adventure has become very expensive. Non Resident tags have increased in price in almost every state. Outifitters used to charge $3K now charge $8K. Gas prices/Food prices/Guide costs all account for this. Landowner tags have skyrocketed due to companies...

    Guided elk hunt outfitter

    Unfortunately $6K will not get you any good private land outfitted hunts. $6K should get you a decent Montana or Colorado outfitted hunts. That doesn't cover the Elk tag which ranges from $700-$1200 depending on State and the Tip to the outfitter. I also don't think that gives you a great...

    NM private ranch elk

    Be prepared to pay $15K on low end and $20K + on higher end. Depending on areas the Landowner tag alone will run $7.5K - 15K. Hunt/guiding on private ranch another $8K. You can maybe get that down a few K if you stay off property and feed yourself. You might want to check with a hunting...

    New Mexico 16A Archery DIY or Outfitter?

    And that's why they call it hunting not shooting. Sometimes it is the hunter's day but most of the time it is the Elk's day...especially big bulls....

    Quartering to Shot With 7 Mag

    a key point mentioned is Elk are the toughest animal you will shoot at. Any marginal hit will result in a long day of tracking and most likely a lost animal. You owe it to the Elk to take the most ethical shot you can get. The philosophy of "if it ain't flyin it ain't dyin" isn't a good...

    7 Mag is a solid Elk rifle. 7 Mag has plenty of umph with the correct bullet to kill an Elk.

    How long did you hunt before you went for an elk?

    shot a few wild pigs, a few blacktail deer. Saw some elk hunting pictures in the snow. Swore I would never do that until I got drunk at a RMEF dinner and bought an elk hunt. That was 31 yrs ago and I go every year now. Sometimes when I am hiking in snow freezing my balls off I wonder about...

    No. I enjoyed my WY hunt but will take the hint on NR prices and hunt elsewhere. Not interested in playing that game anymore. Good luck to everyone else.
