Open Range Elk /OR/ 20,000 acre ranch?
Ok guys...I'm not in this to spark up an argument on fenced in hunts....I want you to give me your opinion choice.
Which would you do?
This is not a DIY hunt.....these are guided hunts...
1) A 380 - 400 class bull elk (Guarantee Hunt?)...On a 20,000 acrefenced in ranch.. 6000 dollars.
2) A guided Elk hunt for $4250 with a reputable outfitter.
Check outwww.utahelkhunt.com I'm not afraid to say...I like what I see...and know a guy that hunted with them...MONSTERS.

Neither but I was taken on a guided Elk hunt on public and private land near Craig Colorado four years ago. I am not sure what the ex-father-in-law paid but the experience was not what I expected. I did get a 5x4 bull but the guide pressured me to take it and didn't want to hunt for a larger Bull because he was worried about getting his other clients tags filled.

Sorry dude,
I won't spend more than the cost of a resident elk tag-ever. You are more than welcome to join us in September.A OTC non-resident tag is somewhere around $500. I can guarantee you a great time and tons of fun.

I wouldn't pick eithor. I'm a DIY guy. I would get much more satisfaction taking a smaller animal on a DIY hunt.

Open range is the way to go. I am booking a drop camp hunt in CO. in 2009. It is the best of both worlds, I have to find the Elk on my own, buy I am set up and droped off but they outfitter.
