Planning Affordable Elk Hunts can be done with good planning and research. Knowing enough about Elk Hunting to do some of the needed things for yourself can make a huge difference.
Here are places you can save...
Go on a Self-Guided Hunt - instead of paying for a guide. Generally, a fully guided hunt comes as part of a full package. These start in the $3,200. + /per hunter range.
Use the "Drop Camp" option with an Outfitter -They will pack in (set up) and pack out (take down) your camp. You are renting this service and supplies - you will guide yourself.
Be flexible on When, Where or How you hunt -This will open up so many more options to you. Options can save money.
Plan Early - this is a MUST! There are so many things that have to be done. Like a license - many states will require you to complete a Hunter Safety Course before you can even get one. This has to be done ahead of time.
All in all the one thing that will save you the most money is knowledge. Understanding all the things that have to be done - and being able to do them are KEY!
That is what can make Elk Hunting more expensive - paying someone else for their knowledge and skills. If you know or can learn enough yourself - you are far ahead in the hunt.
