I have been slowly trying to research all the elk hunting threads. I want to plan a hunt for 2024 before I turn 60. I think I am more interested in the experience than I am a trophy. I would like a fairly good odd of shooting at something. I haven't decided on bow or rifle yet. This is what I think I'm looking for.
1. I want to experience a pack in on horse and staying in a camp in a wall tent. I'm wanting it guided, it will more than likely be 1 on 1.
2. Like I mentioned, I would like better odds at shooting at something than making this about a trophy. In fact, I really don't care if it is a cow hunt. I just don't know if a outfitter will guided me on a cow or spike hunt and I get the treatment of paying for a trophy, but only paying for a cow.
2. I don't have any states that I prefer, but always thought of Montana, Wyoming, or Colorado, but lately have been researching Idaho & New Mexico. I will be buying my tags & permits, and I don't have any points in any state.
Can any of you Elk & western state hunters give me some tips & advice. I know I could DIY hunt and save some money, but it is not something I want to try by myself. Thanks
