first time cow elk hunt
i am looking at booking a guided cow elk hunt, but don't really know where to go. i would like it to be a real hunt though not one where you walk out 200 yards from camp and shoot your elk. can anyone give me some advise on some good places to go? i would like to keep price to a minimum however i don't mind spending more if it means seeing more elk.
i live in PA and the closer it is the better but i don't mind a long drive if the hunt will be worth it.
thanks!

RE: first time cow elk hunt
the main reason is i am 15 and i could afford a cow elk hunt but not a bull elk hunt and i want to pay for my whole hunt instead of making dad and 3,000-5,000 is just to much for me. idahoelkinstructor i am very serious and i sent an email thanks for your help

RE: first time cow elk hunt
As far as New Mexico goes. The Jicarrila Apache Res. in Dulce NM has some real good cow hunts. I think the tag is $500. Stay in a hotel and pay a guide $200/day. You should fill your tags in 2 to 3 days. You will have to send in an application. find the web site for more information.
You also have time to appy for a public land hunt. Unit 2 is almost would be guarenteed draw. So a few hundred for a tag / tags. Not a guarenteed hunt but I have guided out there for the past 5 years and filled everyones tag so far.
Some other units for a late hunt would be 52 and 15. You could hunt on public land and the cost would not be very far off.
For the price I would really check the Jicarrilla hunt out. You would see some tremendous Mule deer, some fairly good bulls and plenty of Elk.
There are some resonable hunts in Northern CO, up around Craig. Landowner tags/guided hunts. Check the sp < Sonora Ranch >. It is the largest horse ranch in that country. Good wintering grounds and plenty of Elk.
