Elk hunt advice
#17
Idaho, Montana, and Colorado all have available tags. Montana is 100% draw for the last several years and that wont change in 2015. Idaho and Colorado have OTC tags. As far as leasing horses you would need 5-6, you can look around but leased stock may be more trouble than they are worth. 5-6 horses in the back country you are looking at packing hay. Public land in Montana requires weed free certified hay. Grazing is hit and miss. Your best option may be a semi-guided or drop camp hunt. Not sure if you can get 5-6 into a drop or would want to, semi-guided out of a main base camp would seem to be your best option.

Elk Hunting in Montana
If you are looking for bull elk out of state tags they are hard to come by. Cows aren't to bad. We own a ranch in SE Montana in hunting district 705. We don't guide and charge less than outfitters. If you are interested in what we offer I have pictures and can tell you more of what we offer.
