With the new regulation changes we now have a very unique hunting opportunity: Late season trophy elk hunting with a muzzleloader.
This hunt is in my opinion (Robert Gary, owner/outfitter) the best opportunity in the country for trophy bulls without having to wait 20 years to draw a tag. This is a 10 day hunt in mid December, when the snows have started to pile up and weeks of no pressure will have these bulls on their feet and out in the open. We specifically target bulls in the 300”+ range. These hunts are only being offered on a 1x1 basis to ensure every client a reasonable opportunity at a trophy class bull.
Hunters must be proficient with a traditional muzzleloader out to 100-150 yards for optimal success on this hunt.
Wolves can be hunted for no additional fee.
Hunters must apply for Elk Permit 270-45.
