Elk Outfitter Recomendations

[Tim Pierce]

I am planning the hunt of my lifetime. Planning to go hopefully in 2019. Looking for 1st hand experience with outfitters for a western elk hunt. I don't really care where the location is. I would prefer to hunt from an established spike camp with a guide. Most likely be a gun hunt. Anybody care to share their experiences?

When I was planning an elk hunt a couple of years ago, I relied on a booking agent I met at a local outdoor show. Hunting Consultants Unlimited. They put me and my sons onto a good outfitter, and we had a great hunt in Colorado. The guy at HCU we dealt with was no BS, and I'd trust them again if planning another one. They fully vet all of the outfitters and their dependence on return business leads me to believe you shouldn't get screwed. I see that one of the partners is located in Ohio.
