[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1196721, member: 67011"] I do agree with the above. Elk hunting is nothing like whitetail deer hunting. Your not going to show up, find some tracks, and get started. Finding elk tracks usually means that elk were there, but are no longer. This is also extremely rough country, and very vast, compared to the whitetail woods. I lost 6 lbs back in September, while I was wandering around, looking for elk. That's 6 lbs, in 6 days, and I'm not a big guy. But it was a DIY hunt, and I did get a 5x5. Actually of all my elk hunting trips, I can only remember 1 that I came home empty handed, and they were all DIY hunts. That includes rifle, bow, and muzzleloader hunts, with the magority of them being bow hunts. And I will add that I live 1200 miles east of Denver, and have no local help out there. DIY is doable, but much harder. A lot of the guides are local Cowboys and ranchers, that know where the elk are. If you can afford it, a good guide will increase your chances, but if not, you can do it on your own. But one way or another, you will pay for it. You'll come back a changed person. [/QUOTE]
