Corn,
If you read between Bird' s lines you' ll see he addresses the issue of risk.
Don' t forget to work risk management (what' s that?) into your trip plan.
Hope I don' t read about y' all in the Denver Post newspaper.
Good luck,


$200 to $250 each is the going rate for elk packing if you aren' t too far back in and more than that if you are further back in. Sombrero ranch will rent you a horse for $325 for the season plus a $300 deposit - you buy the hay and grain and use your own panniers. If you use the local meat processor, then that is another $200 per head. Out of state bull tags are $483.25 and out of state cow tags are $250.25. Haven' t paid for gas, food, or lodging yet.

Corn, I' d do your math on this one before heading out.

Never Go Undergunned,
