HF elk that are mature 7-9 years old have seen it all, probably the most educated elk around. Especially if they are running many hunts. This is from mainly an Archery perspective. There is some carry over on rifle perspective assuming if you are hunting a certain animal
I don’t HF but I won’t lie and say I’ve never been on premiere LF Private, I bet that Bull cost less or close to a 400” plus from the Acoma or White Apache.
I know a few guys that have also hunted the Utah Broadmore. 10k HF and 50k LF. They run pretty much 100% LF also and 80% combined with archery. Most the guys that hunt the HF try archery first and last day grab rifle on any mature bull they can find. Most that choose the HF are A)looking for a specific animal B) want the option for dual weapon, because it’s a one time trip for what ever reason health, money Etc
