Default RE: How do I go about planning an Elk hunt?

ORIGINAL: Josh the Hunter

Iwould liketo plan an Elk hunt on public land for myself and 2 other hunters for the 2007/2008 season; but need help getting started. Heck, Im so lost I'm not even sure I know which questions to ask, lol. The 3 of us have been wanting to do this for years, we really just need to be pointed in the right direction. Is this something that is possible, or are we looking to do something that would put us in over our head?

If it is possible, Im guessing I need to get a map of different states' public hunting land first? Boy I'd sure appreciate some help.

Josh, You are already on the right track. You should look at a few states draw odds. Colorado & Idaho have tags in some areas thathave 100% draw odds. I think The Idaho Panhandle region is still over-the-counter for either sex. If either Idaho or Colorado strike your fancy? Order some maps.
Another option is buying a Landowner elk tag in New Mexico. I think they can be found on ebay? I have seen them listed there before.
You could talk to a booking agent? A booking agent might be willing to get you headed in the right direction for a small fee?

Good luck,

WK
