Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Starting to elk hunt is overwhelming.....

Your thinking out of state elk. Pick a state, find the game departments unit success rates. Compare those to the type of terrain you feel comfortable hunting ,using google earth. Pick a couple areas and call the biologists in those areas. Ask lots of questions, most are more than happy to help. Look at the regulations for the areas suggested by the biologists. Get your gear together and go! My hunting party does this and have had good luck filling tags. We have filled tags in Idaho, Wyoming. Deer, elk, and pronghorn. All dyi hunts, If your plan is this year, buy a tag and go hunt. If your thinking next year you have a year to plan.
