So, you're really interested in tackling an elk hunt, but many questions loom... Where should I go? How do I find hunting spots when I get there? Where am I allowed to hunt? What's the benefit of an outfitted hunt? Won't the guide actually be hunting, while I just tag along? (Answer: not if he's a good guide) How do I get an elk out when I put him down? Can't I hunt in all public Bureau of Land Management areas? (Answer: No!) I answer each of these questions, based on personal experience. With no prejudice, I honestly lay out the realities of independent and outfitted hunts, so that you can assess your own physical and financial ability for the limited time you have to devote to an exciting, challenging, and remote hunt in America's wilderness.
