    Default Cow Elk Guide Recommendations

    Looking for some recommendations, if anyone has been with a guide good or bad. Trying to get a hunt for this coming season, 2018.

    Let me know.

    Thanks

    Lord help you if you need a guide to kill a cow elk
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    We can't all be as bad ass as you. Help us special needs fellas out.


    Given my limited resources, i.e. time, money and experience, I would like to put myself in the best opportunity to bring some meat home. Guide seems like the right way to do it. Might cost a little more up front, but with a little homework, I think the safe bet would be following around someone who lives there rather than spending all summer reading forums and studying maps for a maybe.

    I know a guy that can put you on a cow with very minimal travel
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands

    Honestly man I am just trying to help you out. A little research and some leg work and you can easily kill yourself a cow elk. Honestly I probably have most of the info already figured out depending on where you intend to hunt and what tag you have. It will literally save you thousands

    I don't mean this is A smart ass but have you ever been out there and seen the sheer number of cow elk? Killing a good bull is a completely different topic but a cow is very very easy

    One thing you might consider, if you are experienced with a bow, is to pay to get on a decent ranch. There might be lodging, help with your downed critter, good game populations and this ....... being in the West when it is beautiful and elk are doing awesome shit. Nov in the west with a rifle guarantees you'll miss many of the best aspects of elk hunting. Money and chance of success would be similar but overall experience would be much better imho. Utah, Colorado, MT, WY all have what I just described.

    You got a particular state in mind?

    If you are just hunting for meat I would look into a late season "trespass hunt" in Northern Utah.

    I would look into a early season trespass hunt in Arizona and shoot a bull instead of a cow. My .02 cents

    There are lots and lots of places you could have a great and successful hunt on your own. Wyoming in particular stands out to me, as I have hunted there more than any other western state. Pm me if you want some general information regarding an area to check out. I would give you specifics if I still recalled them but I am senile.

    I've whittled my way down to 5 units in WY with a cow tag of some sort and a smidgen of public land with what onx maps calls elk habitat. My eyes might cross soon.
