LAST EDITED ON May-03-08 AT 02:56PM (MST)[p]Where are you from? The Monroe is a nice unit for a DIY hunt unless you are not familiar with elk hunting.
And what kind of a bull would you be happy with?

He is looking for a 370 plus bull and does not have time to scout ,that is why we were asking about an outfitter,
thanks

A 370 is doable, but not a guarantee. If you have any time to hunt, you could have a great hunt without a lot of scouting up there. Lots of bulls and fairly easy to find, but a lot more work to produce a great bull.

What outfitter or guide knows the unit the best ????

Bullmania, I'm just curious, what is the biggest bull your buddy has ever shot? I'm always interested when someone throws out a number for a really big bull if it's because they're trying to shoot a bigger bull than they've ever taken before, or if there is some other reason. What is the reason for 370+, as opposed to 350+ or 400 or whatever number you want to pick out of the air?

Jim has shot a 402 and 386 that i know of as i was with him.

Thanks

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Then he'd be one of very few guys to have a real reason to hold out for that caliber of bull. I have an archery tag in the same unit, and I don't intend to be nearly as disciminating as your buddy. My biggest bull to date grossed 385+, and the only way I'll kill a bull over 370 is if I don't get a chance at a 340s or bigger class bull first. I wish him luck and hope he gets one of those monsters. I'll be happy with a great hunt and hope to get a nice bull but it doesn't have to be a monster.

I live in Monroe and spend lots of time up there!!! A 380+ bull is a lofty goal on this unit. Dont get me wrong....they are there! But it will be a GREAT hunt. It is a unit that elk are ALL OVER the mountain and it is a lot of fun!

Will be spending LOTS of time up there this entire summer!! I cant wait!!!!!!

My family owns property up there. There are some very nice bulls. Last summer I got some nice pics of 1 7x7. I had some pics of another very nice bull on our property, but my camera was messed up and they were all blurry. Email me your name and a contact # and I will call and tell you more and where to go. MINE is [email protected].
