I have reserved a 5 day, Sept 2005 archery elk hunt with Target Outfitting out of Cuba, NM. This is a wilderness hunt on horse back and camp. I found out from my wifes uncle, his best friend guides elk hunts. He gave me a discount for the trip, the 5 day hunt and tags will cost me $4,700 the real price is over $5,000. The guide said in the last three years all of his bow hunters had a shot at a bull elk. He said some have turned down the shot, because of looking for a bigger bull. Last year said two bow hunters turned down a shot, all others shot a bull elk. I have asked for more info from them, they are sending it in the mail. I am a avid whitetail hunter with bow. I am buying some new gear for the hunt. such as smaller sleeping bag, rangefinder, 2 pars 1 uninsulated and 1 insulated irish setter boats with the bob soles, a Alaska guide back pack with bladder from cabelas, I have a good day pack with bladder already, bow sling, of course more arrows with G5 Montek if flies good going to try the new broadhead for the first time, a field bow press and some new back up parts for my bow such as string srews, and other parts. Do I really need another bow to bring along for the hunt. What other stuff should I look at or buy before the hunt. Has anyone hunted with Target Outfitting www.targetoutfitting.com if yes please tell me how it went or E-mail me at [email protected]. I have been reading about elk and elk hunting what amazing animals. If anyone else has any advice what to ask the outfiiter or avice for me on equipment please give I would like to hear about it. Thanks
