Elk Hunting - Guided, Semi-Guided or Solo?
from:If you are looking for a hunting experience that allows you to roam far and wide and provides a real sense of accomplishment, elk hunting is definitely one of the big game sports that you should consider. When you are in a position to indulge in it, hunting is one of the activities that can provide both a great deal of physical activity and bragging rights, not to mention an impressive amount meat and a truly epic trophy at the end. If you are thinking of getting a guide for your elk hunting, take a look at a few of the facts below. Remember as you are making your decision that employing a guide is by no means something that is only done by beginning hunters; there are many reasons that an experienced hunter would take advantage of a guide as well.
The first thing to consider is experience and location. How well do you know the area? If you have hunted in the area before or if you are very familiar with the type of country that you'll be going through, you may not need to be as reliant on a guide. However, as elk have a wide range throughout North America, there is a good chance that if you are elk hunting you might be doing in in a location you don't know very well. Are you familiar with hunting in a very wet location, or a drier one? How comfortable with you in the mountains as opposed to the deep forests? A guide can help you make up for any weakness you have when you are in new territory.
How well do you work with others? You are employing the guide or the outfitter company, but remember that a working relationship is important. How well do you take direction, and are you willing to step back and allow your guide to do his job? If the answer is no, you might be better off working on your own and having a more pleasant trip. If you can work well together (and some hunters and guides do have relationships that last for years) you might find using a guide to be a very worthwhile experience.
You should also keep in mind how long you are willing to spend in the woods. Typically, with a guide to show you the best spots and you will find that the trip will end in a kill specifically much faster. If you don't know the area and you don't have a guide, you can usually expect the hunt to last significantly longer. If you are planning on a slow, leisurely hunt, this will not be a problem, but if you are on a time table, you might be interested in getting a guide to merely cut down on the time spent chasing your quarry!
At the end of the day, remember that this is meant to be an enjoyable experience, so make sure that you keep that in mind! A guide can make your elk hunting a great deal easier.
