[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 322308, member: 10391"] Collected my first bull elk hunting from a drop camp in eastern Idaho. The outfitter had the tents set up all the horse food packed in so when we got there all that was left was to cut firewood. He left 4 saddle horses with us and checked on us once then packed us and all the game out at the end of the hunt. We had some friends that had used the outfitter on a couple hunts years earlier so he came highly recommended and that paid off for us. Also we spent some time looking at topo’s and talking with the guys that had hunted the country so when we got there we knew where to go. Without high recommendations or word of mouth I would be careful about drop camps especially for elk unless horses are included so that you can find the elk if they are not within hiking distance from camp. If you have all the camping stuff a do it yourself trip is as good as a drop camp especially if you hunt country your familiar with. You’re not locked in to any one place and you can move if you have to. Any way good luck with your endeavor and hope you find something that works for you. [/QUOTE]
