Need advice. Out of state guided Elk hunt

[KaelBear]

Hey all,

I am looking to do a guided elk hunt out of state next year and and looking for some helpful tips/advice from folks.

I have not been on a guided hunt before. I would obviously love a 300 bull, but more or less want the experience with my brother, a good size bull, and meat in the freezer.

1. What state would you recommend? I have points in most states, however only a couple. Doubt enough to get me a high-end unit. I figure Colorado gives me the best option since I don't have a more than 2 points in any state. Not sure about land owner tags in other states.
2. Any specific outfitters you have used?
3. What should I look out for when talking to outfitters? Good questions to ask? Red flags?

Just tryin to do some homework here and appreciate any usable advice.

Budget is biggest problem. Go NM landowner tag if ya can. CO would be my 2nd choice if budget don’t allow.

Go Wyo Special Draw for a General tag with your 1 pp. That will give you lots of options

I go with Corliss Outfitting in NM. Reasonable prices, great guy, knows his business and you can't beat public land in New Mexico.

Oregon has some good opportunities. I connected Oscar @ofl0926 with Cody Cole's and he had an epic hunt and ended up with a good six. We went 3 for 4 this year guiding first on the ranch with 2 good bulls. (293 5 point and a 315 6 point) although it's we market it as an opportunity hunt.

There's no need to draw tags as there's outfitter and lop tags. I'd look at a guided murders Creek public hunt, ranch hunt out of john day (these ranches are free range and many out fitters have 20-100k leased) and then I'd look at a pack in hunt with Brian Sanders or a helicopter hunt with Bob Staples.

I’m far from an expert but Wyoming general is a great tag, a huge percentage of the state is open, you can do archery or rifle, I think it’s a no-brainer tag for people with just a few points. Hit me up if you want a few pointers on areas...I’m no expert but I love here.
