The only outfitters I have used were in Newfoundland 3 times on woodland caribou hunts. The outfitters were a legal necessity for a non resident hunter. We used the same outfitter each time and had a quality experience. My hunting partner Rob did all the fact checking and called for references. I think that is important and urge you to double check everything. For what it is worth DIY elk hunts on public land can be difficult for someone who hasn't hunted elk. My suggestion is for that first time hunt to hire a good guide and learn the ways of western elk hunting from them.
