I hope this note reaches anybody who is reading it in good health. I'm continuously impressed with the wealth of knowledge I find on this site and figured I would throw an elk question out to everybody. I've not had opportunity to elk hunt.....yet....and recently started looking at different guide services, outfitters, trespass fee, drop camp options etc and find myself rather overwhelmed. I also have found it hard to get reviews on various outfitters and this only adds to my lack of understanding.
Do any of you have any opinions regarding good elk hunting outfits whether that be anything from fully guided to drop camps? Or know of "good" DIY elk options for someone who has plenty of hiking, backpack camping, outdoor survival skills but ZERO horse handling skills?
I don't have a particular area in mind other than out in the western part of the US somewhere. Would rather hunt bull elk vs cows and while I don't need to kill a trophy ..... having the possibility would be nice.
Thank you ahead of time for your opinions. Am happy to answer any questions you may have for me.
