THIS IS OUR # 1 ARCHERY ELK HUNT: We have taken too many P/Y bulls to mention. Most years we will take several bulls over 350 P/Y and allways some 370 or better . Our success rate was over a 50% kill & 90% shooting opportunities. We enforce a 300 p/y minimum on this hunt no reason to shoot a small one!
BULL QUALITY: The genetics in our area will not be surpassed anywhere. If your truly looking for a trophy bull this is a great hunt. 100% fair chase no high fences
HUNTING METHODS: In the mornings we are calling by way of bugling or cow calf talk. Afternoons were usually setting in double bull ground blinds over one of our 15 waterholes or wallows.
TERRAIN: Rolling pine, parks into some juniper country.You can glass the country and find elk. Elevations of 7,000 to 8,000 ft with temperatures of 25 to 70 degres.

GUIDING: Our guides are first class they all archery hunt them selves so they know what it takes to get it done.
HUNT DATES:
HUNT # 1 September 1- 6 The waterholes are usually hot on this date pre rut but if your into setting ground blinds it's a great time to be there.
HUNT # 2 September 10-15 The bulls are moving, they are looking for cows, and starting to establish thier herds. Locating single bulls gives you some great opportunities to call them in, My personal favorite time frame.
HUNT # 3: SEPTEMBER 19-24 Bulls are usually in full rut at this time, lots of bugling action, its an exciting time to be in the woods. The waterholes and wallows are also getting hit from hot rutting bulls!
