| Comments: | Yes Sir, you are right. I am from Georgia but I had the opportunity to live two years (09-11) in Colorado. Had to move back east due to family reasons. There is NOTHING like the Rocky Mountians and the majestic Wapiti! I was lucky enough to take one last hunting season and I can say that, eventhough it was a cow, is the high point of my hunting career. I have only been to Wyoming once but I love it! Would love to live there. Thank you for the site. It is now one of my favorites!!! |

| Comments: | Thank you for the information. I have shot plenty of cow elk for freezer fillers but have never hunted during the rut for a bull. I won a coveted blackpowder tag in a unit close to my house that has plenty of big bulls during the September muzzleloading season. I found your sight to research elk call tactics, as I'm sure that will be one of the most important aspects in getting the elk in close enough for a shot. Too bad I can't use my 7mm RUM, but I'll take what I can get! |

As such, I have been trying to learn as much as possible of what to expect if I get that golden oppotunity to put cross hairs on one of these majestic animals.

| Comments: | Best Elk hunting website out there for me, as I am a first time Elk hunter. Kudo's on your work!
After 8 years of applications here in Kentucky I was finally drawn for a cow permit hunt, Dec 2010. Kentucky has done a tremendous job in restoring Elk hunting in Eastern Ky and I should be successful. Guided hunt scheduled and after harvesting over 70 whitetail thru the years am actually looking forward to field dressing a very large animal. As they say, the fun is over when you pull the trigger. Your web site has got me primed for the work after the shot. Thanks again. |

In Sweden we have Red Deer, very similar to Elk. But to shoot one is for the very few. Roe (not Red) deer season starts 16/8 in Sweden and everybody (hunters) is awaiting for that date eagerly. Smaller than Red deer but our classic swedish caliber 6,5 x 55 mm will do the work : ) |

The elk hunting trip that I am planning is quite special, too. It will be with my son after he returns from Iraq. We've not done anything like this before and I am excited by the prospect of being able to do this very "American" thing with my son. While I've done some bird hunting over the recent few years, I haven't hunted anything like elk. It was 40 years ago that I hunted whitetail in Pennsylvania as a boy with my father. Your advice will help make my experience with my son so much better. |

We are planing a trip to Idaho in October 09. None of us have been hunting abroad before so it will be a challenge. Hunting in Denmark - Sweden - Poland - Scotland - and in South Africa has been tested, so now we are ready to try the Rocky Mountains. We still need a lot of information about how your tag system and other practical stuff works but there`s time to find out. Hope you all have had a great season. Thank`s for all the great tips etc. Keep it up. :-) Hunter greetings from Denmark. Claus Eriksen. |

| Comments: | Hey bill, What an awesome web site, Myself and 3 other good friends of mine are heading off to the willmore wilderness park in alberta canada for our first elk hunt. Your tips and information will help us out lots. I must say that i read that you didn't care too much for diaphram calls but i'll tell you what, I think if you want to imitate the bull you can sound like more elk if you use a combination of both a hand held call and a mouth call. I recomend the primos mouth call because of that little sonic dome, keep trying, i know i swallowed mine a few times tryin. Any recomendation for early season bow? |

Having killed many whitetails, I am fully aware of just how different elk are. I'm trying to educate myself about habits, hunting, field dressing and skinning which are similar to deer, but on a much larger scale. I'll have to let you know how things turn out. Thanks, Pappy |

| Comments: | This is a great sight...wish I had found it sooner. I've been on 3 sucessful hunts, 2 in Co. and 1 in NM. The hunts in Co. were a little deceving due to the territory. The highest elevation was about 7500 ft and all was easy to get to with a 4 wheeler. (Not complaining) Then reality struck with a trip to New Mexico, elevation started out at 7200 ft and got nuthing but higher. I'm from Mississippi and our elevation is about 150 to 200 ft. just a little difference. I've always thought of myself in shape but in most of the cases, having this thought, I could breathe freely. I really did not know how much I took oxygen for granted. The hike was only about 1 mile (I struggled) then the kill (that was easy) then the field dressing and quartering...(difficult due to no trees around to help tie off legs) thats kind of a funny story in itself. Then the packing out(almost ruined my entire hunt) I was lookin to hire someone, anyone with a mule, strong back, a bad child. That was the hardest I've ever work physically in my entire life. and at 40yrs old it aged me 10 yrs that single day. So now I have taken a year off to get in shape for my next hunt...I was told by a local, the week before I come back I should, to duct tape a drinking straw in my mouth and put a laundry pin on my nose...this should get me used to the lack of oxygen. So, If youre in mississippi and see someone with a staw and a laundry pin hanging off there face...just say hello. Its probably me Robert. |

| Comments: | Thanks for the great site. I as a boy hunted with my father and brother for deer in eastern Montana. We live in Minnesota, and I remember the trips out west to hunt. I am now 35 and have always wanted to Elk Hunt, and generally just get back into hunting. This past year my sister and brother in law moved back to Montana where he was from. This year I am going on my 1st elk hunt, and I have been to your site often. I have used it to look up just about all basic infomraiton I could find to included helping determine my gun choice. I was pretty sure I wanted a 7mm Magnum, but wanted to make sure I had a gun that was very versitle. Once I started shooting it, I fell in love with it. I purchased in Montana this past July a Rugger M77 Hawkeye 7MM Magnum. I have been shooting the Remington 150 grain express core lockt bullets, and have them grouped under 1" at 100 yards. this weekend I now plan to move out to 200 and 300 yards to see how my rifle actually responds as far as rise / drop with this particular grain bullet. I did of course read your article about sighting in, and understand I should be about 4" high at 200 yards, and zeroed at 300 yards. I have set a limit to not shoot farther than 300 yards this year, but next year if the conditions arrise may push that out a little further. I have 12 years experence in the Army where my career began as an infantry men, so I have pushed plenty of rounds out at 300 yards. Now, the biggest thing I can do is put as many rounds down range prior to our trip to get as used to the rifle as possible, illiminating all jerk I can from the trigger squeeze. I feel very confindent I will be able to group at 300 yards within 8" to 12". Most of my shooting at ranges of this far have been in the prone position, so if I have to use sticks, I will bring that in to shoot no more than 250 yards.
Any general advice you can give to someone going on there very first Elk hunt? It will be the 1st week on November in the Dillion Montana area. thanks! Mike |

| Comments: | I'm from FL. and have never hunted out of state before. My brother and I are planning our first self-guided Elk hunt for 2009 season and your site has really helped our planning. We are planning to hunt in Colorado just below Hayden, Co. in GMU 13. We are not sure if we need to have written permission from land owners in that unit, still looking. Wyoming sure looks like God's country but our funds aren't the richest but we both have dreamed of this for years! Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!!! Your site has shed so much needed answers for us. |
