Last minute 2014 hunt?

[Brian Bothun]

First post here,

From the midwest and would like to get out west on an elk hunt this year yet. What is the best way to go about this? Left over tags or OTC?

Please help a newbie.

Thanks

OTC, might cost a few pennies but you would be hunting.

Can always get an OTC tag in CO. MT might still have tags. ID has tags but you better hurry, it opens Oct 10!

Montana has both deer/elk combos and elk combos left. Season opens Oct 25th!

MT archery OTC open now, rifle in a few weeks. $971 for deer/elk combo.

 

[Musket Man]

$971 for deer/elk combo.

And they wonder why they still have tags. lol

Hi Brian,

Please head over to the new members section and introduce yourself. I'm guessing there are guys on here with the information your looking for but usually they won't offer it to someone on their first post. We really like people to hang around and contribute to the forum so be patient and offer where you can. Thanks and welcome to the site.

Idaho has a lot of elk tags still. you could do a fly in hunt in November in the frank church wilderness. Tags where still available a couple of days ago. lots of options if you want them.

Not much different than a CO if you buy both. NR is what $604 for a bull and $353ish for deer for a grand total of $957.....ouch.

True enough but MT is over 600 for just a deer tag and over 800 for just an elk tag.

I have been wanting to elk hunt Idaho or any new state in the west. I live in Oregon. I own a plane. Have flown for decades in the back country. Have great power and big tundra tires. Have flown to Alaska to salmon fish. I have landed in most of the back country strips in the Frank Church Wilderness years ago. But I think the wolves have put the hurt on our elk there. Not sure. Do you know any areas that have elk where we could access them from a back country strip? Do you wanna go? It is very easy for me if you know where we can fly and access these elk. I got the bird and can get us there if you know where we can try.
