I am a Minnesota and Wisconsin Whitetail hunter. I am interested in trying an elk hunt out west. When my father was still alive, he would go out to northwest Wyoming with his buddy Jack and work on Jacks cabin (both retired carpenters) and hunt Elk and Mule deer.
I have one buddy who has gone out west. Although I would say he is 100% greenhorn.
As I stated, my dad passed away (2012). Jack has Alzheimer's real bad. A few of my family members have been to that cabin on one occasion with my dad when they went to Yellowstone. No one in Jacks family has ever been there. I am sure I would be allowed to stay there and check on the place.
How does someone develop a hunting trip for Elk? I understand that getting a license is difficult. Going out there to hunt in the mountains is one of those things on my bucket list. Montana, Wyoming, Colorado? Somewhere not flat.
My assumption is that guided hunts are pretty expensive. I am not ruling it out, but my inclination is to develop my own skills.
