I did not nor will I hire a guide.Elk are not to smart.If you are a good whitetail hunter you can eat elk prity eazy.I moved to MT.7 years ago and have killed 8 elk.Last year and this year you can get a extra cow tag.I passed up 8 bulls befor I shot this one.A passed bull means he was at least 30 yards or closer.

The elk pic that is here is of one brian shot. He was a guy I invited on this sight to come hunt with me this year.It took him 5 days to kill this one.His pic in not real good but the elk is a 7x6. I would gess his would score around 300 bc.

My wife missed a very very big elk this year. I think she got a little shuck up.The bull she missed I would have to gess to be around 400 bc.It was a 8x8 with at least 50in main beams.She is still hunting and will kill one.In the 7 years she has killed 3 but this year is not over yet.
