Been a dream of mine to go out west and chase Elks in the backcountry for quite a while and recently decided I need to start putting the pieces together to hopefully make this happen next year and if not, definitely the following year. Hopefully I can get enough up to speed to make it out next year... Any DIY Elk hunters out there that can give a first timer a few pointers on putting together a first elk hunt..
I know next to nothing about elk hunting other than to make the trip easier on myself, spend the next year getting into crazy good shape...
Just curious about how much it will run me to go out and rough it on public land for about 10 days... I don't have anybody to go with me as of now so if I could, I would be interested in pairing up with somebody whom is also interested in going. Would maybe help me learn the ropes or if your new too then we can learn from mistakes together lol.
I know there is a ton of pieces in this and was just looking for some basic information and maybe pointers or tips from DIYers who have been out and maybe learned the hard way.
I have just started researching on Elk101 and the RockyMtn Elk Foundation in hopes of getting a solid start.
Thanks,
CJ
