Good, solid info for anyone considering an Elk hunt. I used to "do-it-yourself" Elk hunt but that taught me how worthy a good Guide is. After prepping the horses before YOU eat breakfast, you ride out in the darkness and hope you get to where your going before first light. Hunt all day in the wind and cold and return to camp after dark only to take care of the Horses BEFORE you eat dinner. Then who wants to clean up the dishes? Your tired and wore out and ready for bed, because you have to get up extra early in the morning to TAKE CARE of the Horses
I totally agree: a good Guide is worth his weight in gold. If your going Elk hunting for the first time, get your gear and yourself in shape. It will pay off in spades. Congrats on getting your Bull! grayghost
