To answer the OP's question, yes, there are some honest outfitters out there. You've been given some excellent advice in this topic by members from the hunting side and also from the outfitter side. We have a classified section for outfitter hunts for sale and also a sub-forum with outfitter reviews if you're interested. The review sub-forum is still a bit slim but the outfitter hunts for sale has a lot of hunts that you could check out further and also see if other members have hunted with that particular outfitter.

If you're still interested in an outfitted hunt, start a separate topic asking for any recommendations. You will get more responses, however, if you list that you want to bow hunt for elk and what state(s) you would like to hunt. A lot of members are strictly DIY but there are also quite a few who do guided hunts and could probably point you in the right direction. Good luck and let us know how it works out.
