I have a good shot at drawing the late Manti LE elk tag this year. I am 2-3 hours away from the unit. Seeing as it takes sooo, long to draw a decent tag, I am considering hiring a guide to make the most out of my chances to tag a big bull.

Those of you who have experience on this unit, what do you think? Is it necessary that time of year to hire a guide?

I know that a lot of you are going to say things like "the experience is not just about the kill, it's about the time spent scouting,,, etc". I get that, and am taking that into consideration too.

This post is asking specifically about this unit, this time of year.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

No. You don't need a guide. Had this tag 3 times. Grown up hunting it. Weather determines it. One year, no snow, hunted high. One year tons of snow, hunted low.

Real early winter, Spring City cemetery will have 40-50 bulls.

There is tons of access.

If you have hunted elk, the Manti is a pretty classic elk hunt.

Good luck to you. The late hunt to me is very intriguing.

I spent last November on the Wasatch pretending I had a tag. The cool thing was once you found the bulls they didn't travel much and you could get a real good look at them.


I don't know the Manti other than where I'd hunt during the rut, but if goofy and hoss are giving advice it's really good and costs much less than hiring a guide.

"But I don't care cuz I drew a $5 tag."
