You should expect to see an
average of 20 to 50 elk per day with more animals entering our property
on a daily basis during the hunting season. The average bull taken is a
5 point with some 6 points harvested. Elkhorn offers a unique hunting
experience. Elevations range from 6,500 to 10,000 ft. above sea level
allowing migrating Elk to never leave the property.
Early season Rut hunts are
foot and horseback only. We do not allow any vehicle traffic,
maintaining the integrity of the hunt and keeping the land unspoiled. Hunters can choose their favorite hunting
method; Rifle, Muzzle Loader or Bow. Our expert guides will lead guests
on one of the most exciting forms of hunting in North America, stalking
big Elk. Our expert guides will maneuver guests into shooting lanes and
call the animal to you on the ground. Few thing compare to coming face
to face with a 6-700 lb. Bull Elk during the rut.
Later into the migration
(November /December) hunts are conducted by horseback or vehicle. This
time of year the Elk are coming down to around 6500 ft. due to weather
and hunting pressure. This is their wintering grounds.
About the
Hunt & Facilities
Hunters can stay at either the main lodge or at the horse camp at about
9500 ft. There are 3 cabins and horse stables located at this outpost.
Each cabin is equipped with two twin beds and propane heating. These
cabins come fully equipped with on site staff & chef but still offer the
rustic charm that makes this land so beautiful. Large camp fire for
relaxing and replaying the events of the days hunt.
Hunts begin about 5:00am,
when guests ride out for their daily adventure. Hunters break for lunch
between 10&11 while Elk bed mid day. Refreshed, guests go back out
between 2-3 in the evening, hunting till dark.
Stay at the main lodge
The lower main lodge is
also available for Elk Hunters. More like being at home, this lodge has
running showers and even satellite TV. There is also a second stable for
horses and mules and a large campfire for relaxing and replaying the
days hunt.
