Was thinking of taking my soon to be 12 year old on an elk hunt. I hunted on an Indian reservation in Utah a couple of years ago and felt it was a good hunt. Tag/Guide/place to stay/food for $1k.

Anyone have any other suggestions for a hunt like this?
 
Sounds like a reasonable price to me. I haven't heard of a better deal than that but there may be something out there. Though realistically you're only going to save a couple hundred dollars, It may be better to stick with an outfitter that you know is quality verses gambling to save a few bucks.
 
I would apply for a normal cow hunt. All my cow hunts that I have gone on have been really easy. Just hike off of the road and you're bound to find elk. The only hard part has been getting them out.
 
LAST EDITED ON Mar-01-12 AT 09:18PM (MST)[p]We do between 10-15 cow hunts a year. Been 100% success since we started doing them around 6 years ago. Give us a call for references or any other questions. Thanks Steve 435-245-3497
 
Steve,
Can you provide a price range on an open forum such as this?
What state are you taking hunts in?
Thanks
 
We do all our hunt in Utah on private ground. Give me a call and I can run you through our prices. Thanks Steve
 
Here's what I could do for you in Utah:

Non-Resident Hunting License = $65
Non-Resident Cow Elk Tag = $213
3-day hunt which includes transportation from Salt Lake Airport = $750
That does not include your food or hotel though.
So that would be $1,028 plus 4 nights hotel/meals per person.
If your 12-year-old doesn't get an opportunity at an elk I'll refund half the guide fee.
Check out my website for some cow elk hunt videos and info: www.botwoutfitters.com Feel free to email me at [email protected]

Hope that helps. Good Luck!

DIY in New Mexico.

There are TONS of cow elk tags in the Youth encouragement hunts. Every year so far there are tags that go unsold. After the first 14 days any unsold tags will be available to any youth on a first come first served basis.

Copy/paste from page 41 of the proclamation.


Youth Encouragement Hunts - Online Application Only
? Only New Mexico resident youth hunters that successfully fulfilled all application requirements and responsibilities for draw hunts
for deer, elk, antelope, ibex, oryx, or bighorn sheep in the current license year and were unsuccessful in drawing any licenses or
permits will be eligible to apply for these hunts for the first fourteen (14) days of the posting on the Department's website.
? After fourteen days, all remaining licenses shall be available to ANY (resident and nonresident) youth hunter eligible to purchase
an elk license. Youth hunters that hold any current elk license, either draw or private land, are ineligible to purchase a Youth
Encouragement Elk License.
? These hunts will be offered first-come, first-served through an Internet registration process and web sale, rather than the
random draw process. To receive information about how to obtain one of these licenses, visit the Department's website.
? The number of licenses available for these hunts may be adjusted due to changes in population levels, harvest rates and
available habitat.
