If you are willing to spend a little more, I am aware of an outfitter who offers elk "management" hunts on a 200,000+ acre ranch where you will most certainly meet your goals. As I recall, the hunts are in the $6,000 range. Management elk are generally 5X5 or 5X6 bulls that are more than 6 years in age. The only problem with this hunt is you will not be permitted to shoot the many larger non-management bulls. When I went on this hunt several years ago, I glassed 30+ trophy bulls before taking a management bull that scored 309. The first evening, I was on a larger 5X6 (340+) but only had a straight on shot that I declined to take. I would guess I saw 100+ bulls in the day and a half. It is my view that this is a great opportunity to take a mature bull without spending the $ a trophy elk costs. If you are serious, contact me directly at [email protected] and I will pass on the contact information for the outfitter. This is not a high fence operation--you must be in reasonable shap and able to hike down into the holes the elk are found.
