I have been watching and dreaming of elk hunting since I was a kid. But with my profession thought it was a more of a wait and maybe in a few years kind of thing. I have been trying to look into doing it next year and have watched more videos on tag applications and where to apply than I can count. I also have emailed a few guides off of searches but there is no way I could tax my family that kind of money. So I guess I was hoping for some starting points.
State - I would like to drive from the Midwest so any will do
Bull or Cow - wouldnt matter much to me.
My family consumes a lot of game meat. Chance of success is preferred over sex.
Rifle or Bow - doesn’t matter to me - have been bow hunting for 30+ years, a former marine infantryman and an avid outdoorsman/hunter since I could walk.
An added bonus would be if I could trailer and use my horses. If feasible this would be awesome. I have good horses and this would push a great experience into a once in a lifetime kind of thing.
I appreciate any advice because all of my research online has yielded a bit of frustration
