Archery elk outfitter recommendation: 2016

[Chew]

I've been wanting to go on a guided archery elk hunt for 10 years but life has gotten in the way. I want to book something for next year before I find another excuse. Looking for a great outfitter in an area where I don't have to count on a drawing to get a tag. I don't know much about the process but I think landowner tags are what I'm looking for? Not looking for a record book bull but do want a chance at something I can be proud of.

Anyone got a recommendation? Looking for a prime time hunt with bugling and cow calling and all that Primos/Bone Collector stuff that gets the heart pumping.

Thanks for any advice and recommendations.

I spoke with these guys, they offer a wide range of hunts with ranches they have worked with for years. When I finally book a hunt, it will be through them.

Bobby, we know a guy who's been to NM with the same outfit 4 or 5 times. He's tagged nearly all of them and when he didn't he passed smaller bulls. I've got pics of two of them. Huge bulls!

BUT. ..I want to say it's like 7 or 8 grand maybe more. Last year he hunted there and Gila

There's a guy on here that has been going with Moon Valley Outfitters for years and says they are top notch. I plan to hunt with them next September. Gotta start training for that thin air now!

Send me some info. I'd appreciate it.

I know some TBH'ers have used Folsom Outfitters. Gonna look into them too. Heck, I may be too late to book with the good outfitters.

You already booked? Shoot me a PM if you might be interested in planning a trip. I'll be going solo since my buddies argue over a bag of corn.

I'll work on a name of the outfitter in the AM. The guide lives around houston cause he and Chris ride together up there and the guide stays for the rest of the season

Following because I too want to do this and that 16' year might work out good also.

The person is Pernell, he is the one that recommend Moon Valley to me and they are a great group to work with. LO tags in this area in has a good price to them but it is expected seeing the caliber of bulls that are in the unit.

Also BO-N-ARO has hunted with Milligan Brand in Charma last year.

GT Nun with Frontier Outfitters - great guys, big bulls in the Gila. You can put in for the draw.......if you don't draw, he can get you a landowners tag. I just spent a week with him and 3 of his guides chasing sheep in the Latir (I was just a spectator.........my buddy had the sheep tag). Great guys and they are killers!
