First, there are other forums that have quite a few more elk hunters then this one, I won't list them, but just do a search. Here in Montana, Montana Outfitters and Guides Assoc., MOGA, is a good site to visit for info on an elk hunt here in big sky country. Another option is hitting a outdoor show this winter at a city close to you or where you would like to visit. Heck, hit a RMEF convention this winter! Not only might you find a outfitter, but you more then likely will learn quite a bit about elk and hunting them.
