I have hunted elk about 10 times, mostly archery. Some have been public land and some private ranch where there were good opportunities at 300+ inch bulls. I have not hunted the real high end $12,000 plus types of hunts for elk.
And I am headed to Africa this Monday, for my third safari. All in, this safari will cost in the high teens because I am after buffalo. That buffalo essentially doubles the cost of this hunt This is an eight day hunt and I hope to arrow 5-6 animals.
Elk hunting is fun, but for me, the economic and experience value of a safari completely out weighs an elk hunt of any type.
Each to his own.
