According to their website an Archery elk hunt is 4,000$, maybe that's just a lovely increase in 1,000$ due to inflation. I'm not doubting that it was fun, and they do not claim to bring you to a giant bull. It's all about the experience thats for sure, I was just stating personally I'd want a little better chance at a large bull just due to my background. I wouldn't do a fully guided hunt though, I like to do my own calling and all that jazz. Mj1, there is a part of the website that has outfitters and locations, you might check in to Montana a little. Just from people doing DIY hunts and knowing people that live there they said the quality of bulls over there is good as long as you're willing to work. I'd stay away from the yellowstone area, fricken wolves are killin em off bad.
