Archery Elk Hunt Recommendations?

[Tim_Anderson]

Does anyone have personal experience, or can you recommend a good archery elk hunt (outfitter) in one of the western states? My partners and I are looking for a do-it-yourself type hunt, prefer private land but would do remote public land, september bugle, drop camp, etc. Thanks!

Tim,

I don't personally use an outfitter in Idaho or Oregon and I've hunted archery and rifle for many years on both private and public land. Idaho is blessed with literally millions of acres of BLM/ USFS & State lands that anyone can access. I've attached a link that may prove valuable in your quest.

Thanks Paul. One of my hunting partners has been out in Idaho the past two years, and they have had some success. I think they went one for three both years, with some missed opportunities. They told me that numbers were so so - just enough to keep them interested - but I'm sure that changes as you go. We have been researching CO and NM for a change of scenery, but Idaho is definitely our ace in the hole. Thanks again. I'll check out the link...
