If you live in a state with elk, it can be DIY relatively cheap entertainment,
Well, if you already have all the equipment, it's just the price of the tag. But, it never seems to end there, does it? There's always '1 more thing' an elk hunter can't hunt elk without. I just laid out $300 for a new backpacking quilt. There's always a better scope that your rifle just can't kill an elk without. 9 years ago I got into llama packing because I'm getting too old to pack elk quarters on my back. They haven't quit eating since I got them. There's no end to the cost of that 'free' entertainment.
