It doesn't matter what state you've been to I just want as much advice i can get on here so i can start looking at places and getting a list of things going. Thanks for and advice you can give me guys!

    Check out the elk hunt invite thread in this section of the forum. Will hosts a camp every other year in Colorado. This year will be my first time attending and I can't wait.

    I have never been on a guided hunt, sorry I dont have any advice there. But if you can draw a tag here in Utah you can get a pretty good bull. I can always ask around to see what guides are good.

    Best of Luck! Keep planning and get your self and equipment ready. There is a ton of information depending on where your head is at as well as what your budget will tolerate. Several of the members here may chime in to help you also. Stick with it.

    Check out Frazier Outfitters in Colorado. I did a gun hunt with him and was successful. He runs a first class operation.

    This year will be my first ever guided Elk hunt. So far it has been pretty cool - I think of stupid things to ask them and they respond with really good answers and have been making me feel pretty good about the process. It's been helpful in getting me to pare down my gear and really focus on what I need.

    I'm going with Winterhawk outfitters in CO. If you saw the film, the Trembling Giant - they're the outfitters.

    I hunted the past two years with Action Adventures in SW Colorado. It's a semi-guided hunt for a very reasonable price. It's an over the counter tag and butts up against public land. They feed you breakfast and dinner and provide plenty to pack for lunch. There are plenty of quality elk in that area and the guide does a great job of providing information on area and hot spots.
