Default Need Elk Hunting advice

My wife and I are trying to take my 16 old daughter a guided elk hunt. Apparently I should have started looking a year ago because space is limited. Has anyone used WTA (Worldwide Trophy Adventures to book a hunt? If so how was your trip?

In order to give your daughter the best experience possible, you may want to consider waiting until next year giving you the time you need to find a good outfitter and to prepare for the hunt as directed by the outfitter. When you are going to spend a sizable amount of money you do not want to rush.

I have not used WTA. Sometimes with youth a "fun" hunt is more enjoyable than a trophy hunt. Nothing wrong with going on a cow hunt to get some experience under her belt.

Yep! Not knowing anything about the OP or what the family has done in the past as far as hunting makes it very difficult to give any meaningful help to his question.

Buddy of mine used them (WTA) through Cabelas about 4 years ago to book a last minute pronghorn hunt in WY & had a blast. He shot a real nice goat . I'm guessing Cabelas screens the outfitters somehow as they're partners and prob. wouldn't want to partner w/ crappy outfitters. I'm also guessing Cabelas takes a sm. cut of the referrals too. Still wouldn't hurt to ask about references & do a Google search on the outfitter if you can find out their name before booking but I'm not sure if you can.
