If the animal is recovered quickly it is your responsibility to begin breaking down your animal and preparing it for the pack out. be prepared to have your animal quartered. a guide may take 2 hours to arrive once contacted. our muzzleloader and rifle camps typically run about 60% to 75% shot opportunity on bulls unless weather turns bad. Archery hunters typically hear and see elk daily. getting a shot depends on your skill level. our hunting areas produce 300+ B&C class bulls consistently. your Success is dependent on your physical and mental conditioning, your hunting knowledge, and your personal gear. Please do not bring your whitetail arrows to elk camp. We highly recommend that you shoot a well-built fixed head and shoot a moderately heavy arrow (550+ grain total arrow weight).
