Default RE: Things to ask an outfitter for Elk Hutiin(Opinions Needed)

Ask about the acreage, i.e. how big it is and whether it is contiguous or numerous broken tracts.

Some outfitters do not supply guides so make sure you askwhether it is guided or unguided. Unguided is a wholelot of fun and usually much cheaper.

Ask aboutshelter. Are you in a tent, trailer, old building, etc. Should you bring traps for mice, rats, pack rats, etc?A pack rat can ruin your day. Don't leave yourwedding ring off and nextto your bunk or it may be gone in the morning. I kid you not.

This is also just a suggestion, but don't expect to go out there and shoot a 300"+ bull. Just enjoy it and take what you can get... if you can get anything at all. I hate to sound negative, but some of the above posts would makeyou think it is shootingelk in a barrel and it is far from that. It is bowhuntingafterall.
