[QUOTE="171farm, post: 3021216, member: 110956"] I know many will disagree with what Im about to say, but Id definitely suggest going with a guide. There are some really affordable cow elk hunts out there. The reason I say to go with a guide, at 13 I'm sure your son will be much happier if he harvests an elk. I get it that its hunting but it can really be a drag on a younger kid to put in all the hard hours of hunting to either not see anything or have the opportunity at one. Guided isnt a slam dunk nor guaranteed, but they know the area and will likely have you on the elk. Some private land guides are looking for cows to be removed from the herd to manage numbers so they are going to do just about whatever it takes to get you on elk. Last I looked at elk hunts, it seemed like you could do a 3 day cow hunt around $1500-2000. That might have changed since its been awhile but I dont think thats all that bad to have a very good chance at getting an elk. You know the saying, opinions are like @$$.....everyone has one and that's mine [/QUOTE]
