Anyone have any advice on a good outfitter out west for elk? Gotta get my butt in gear and get something booked soon.

If you are applying for tags, I can give you a couple of outstanding ones in AZ. Don’t know any outfitters in any other states

I saw on your other post that you are looking for OTC tags, so that would rule out AZ. I hunt Idaho and Oregon but I don’t use outfitters. I can steer you to some good areas but they are not easy hunts, very steep.

There are some outfitters at the Sportsman Show in Springfield this weekend. Show's at the Big E.

Hunter - I think you take your chances with the outfitters at these shows. They seem too hungry for hunters where a good outfitter gets return business and word of mouth. JMO

Bob, yes you are correct. But my Newfoundland Moose outfitter goes every year just to get away and see hunters. They always have a two year wait. So only book for future hunts.

Steve, if I had a reference like the one you just gave I would seek out that outfitter at the show. I booked one guided elk hunt using Jay Houston as a booking agent. It was not what I wanted. The guide didn't know where the elk were and didn't want to walk to find them. The hunter in the camp next to ours told us where they were on Wednesday night and I got a shot on Thursday morning.
