Back from Iraq for 2 weeks and i spent a week of it out in 700 archery hunting elk. I have lived out there the last 3 years hunting elk. I would not hire a guide. Like the Harris place. Not worth it. Depending on the size of elk you are looking for. I seen 28 bulls in 7 days. I didnt get one, but got close. Seen on 380 and one 360. There will be alot of hunters opening day in the willows( the 700 side of the CMR) But if you go out there they kill alot over year. My father has his second rifle tag for 700 in 3 years. Anything over 340. I didnt get to go with his this year, but sometimes. But i personally dont think a outfitter is worth it. If you hunt hard for over a week you should get a nice one. Weather helps. Nelson coullee all the way to Germain coullee is really good. If you Need more info email me at [email protected]. I got a few spots i can help ya with. Good luck.
If he is debatable, they are not a shooter.
