Low cost elk camp
 
We had one of the guys bail this year, so we thought we would offer the opening to someone out in cyber space. We are a group of guys that have hunted together for many years, and have a well furnished camp, with a low expense because all the gear was paid for years ago. In a nut shell, everyone kicks in 220.00 dollars for camp costs, i.e. food and propane and such. Everybody is on there own for other costs, like travel, liscense/tags or whatever they think they need. If anyone is interested, e-mail me at [email protected], and I will answer all questions. We are NOT guides/outfitters, and this is NOT a business in any way...just a group of friends that hunt elk together with some room in camp.

For all you guys that dream about that "out west" without breaking the bank to goelk hunting , you won't find an offer much better than that.

Frozen, make sure you communicate your expectations of anyone entering your camp including: When the money is due (and how), snoring the house down, wanting to arrive late/leave early, etc. etc. A very generous offer, but don't get abused --- some times no good deed goes unpunished.

Good Luck

Elk gave you good advice!
Frozen, sometimes if he is a good outfitter hewill have
different guides go with you. Be a good tipper to these
guys if they gave you goodservice. These guys are on
salary and have families also.

Thanks for the warm words of advice EM, but after putting this camp together for over twenty years, trust me when I tell you I have the t-shirt already. It is really stunning what people expect, and these are people that know each other, talked about the camp, what it will be like...etc. I love it when they get to camp,are stunned to find out that there are camp chores, and asked which one do they want to do! We thankfully have never had any real issues, as most people that get an invite are of the how can I help type, and get right to whatever needs doing.

Reb,

Probably ought to read the first postmore diligently.
You missed it completely, not even close.
What is describedis not an outfitter/guide/client situation.
Perhaps a case of going for Post Quantityat the expense ofPost Quality/Accuracy.

Elk, we have exchanged PM's already. Thanks.

I know all about outfitters, I've been your way
3 times, Canada 4 times, Venezula 2 times,
Argentina 1 time, Spain 4 times and hunted in
the Philippines. I really don't need a lecture on
outfitters, Thanks.

Thanks for the invite as a non-resident. I've been to Rifle
