Highest elevation you’ve killed elk at

[RemiR7]

Just as the title says...what’s the highest elevation you’ve killed elk at? My plan A this year assuming the elk are in the same generally area/elevation I’ll be hunting them at is right around that 11700-12000ft. Wonder sometimes how much I pass heading up that high, but I like the idea of glassing them up and spot n stalk.

highest 11,400 lowest 7500

12,240 according to the topomap I just checked.

Seems like a giveaway to areas, but yes I have killed them pretty high.

I suppose it could be taken that way, but not the intentions.

 

[spike camp]

About 11,400’
Watched him come off a 12,200 ridge before I caught up to the small herd.
I know I pass a lot of elk on the way up to this spot, but that’s ok, I like hunting up high.

 

[Mosby]

10,500 the highest for me.

 

[Boiler]

11,500'- first elk. Luckily I was young!!!

About 300' until a few years ago haha.
12k ft is impressive, living at 10ft I would be sucking air for sure

There is a whole lot of elevation hunted in Utah and Colorado.

 

[5MilesBack]

Just over 11,600 feet.

 

[Gapmaster]

11,200. Steepest pack out I ever pulled. Elk there every year but I’ve gotten lazier maybe.

 

[hobbes]

Somewhere between 11000 and 11500

Shot my first bull at 12,300 back in 1991...my lungs do not handle that elevation as well as they did back then

 

[slick]

Just under 11 in Colorado.

Or was that Idaho?

7500 in MT

 

[Beendare]

12,024' in Unit 76 Co archery season....2010 I think.

We were camped at 10,750' just below the continental divide.

One would think there isn't much difference between 10,700 and 12,000.....there is.

9150 in Montana in November. It seems where I hunt that time of year they are at 5,000 on crops or above 9k. Rarely in between

Here’s some bulls with the Pacific Ocean in the background. Totally depends where you hunt on how many you’ll “pass up” heading up “high”.
