In more than 35 years of hunting in the same area, we have averaged about 75% success rate. This compares with the long-term statewide average of 10-29% for individual hunters and 25-35% for hunters with outfitters. Any hunt can vary between 0%-100% success. However, our customers always get a good hunt with great back-country experiences, and our guides are always working hard to meet or exceed our hunter's expectations. We normally can guide you to one or two good opportunities on legal elk. If you're holding out for that great big one, then sometimes you'll pass up smaller bulls and go home with only good memories.
