REQUEST INFORMATION
I just wanted to take time to tell everyone what a great experience I have had with Western Outdoor Adventures. My dad and I have now hunted with Jeff three different times. Twice we did the DIY hunts and went on a guided hunt this year.
Each time has been truly great hunts and experiences. Jeff and his guides have always went above and beyond to make sure that we have not only been on game but have enjoyed a quality experience. Jeff has always been very up front and totally honest from the first conversation I had with him.
REASONABLE PRICED HUNTS
We hunt out of trucks and this hunt is a spot and stock style.
For the hunter who prefers to put tasty elk steaks in the freezer rather than antlers on the wall, we also offer cow elk hunting at a reduced rate. Our cow elk hunts take place at the end of November and the months of December & January. These big game herd reduction hunts help to control our over-abundant elk herds.
Our elk hunt tags are easy to get with two seasons being OTC and two seasons being a draw tag with zero points and even at a second choice sometimes if you’re lucky enough. So, if you’re looking for a reasonable price and a respectable hunt, then this is your place.
ELK HUNTING OUTFITTERS
In addition to our excellent resident elk herds, hunting pressure on nearby public lands causes more elk to migrate onto land that is leased by Western Outdoor Adventures.
Our elk hunting areas are in 4-point or better all game management units, thereby increasing your chances of taking a mature bull elk. Typically, our hunters achieve a successful harvest on 4-point or better bull elk, with most bulls running in the 5- to 6-point range. They are generally scoring in the ranges from 250″-300″ with a chance at some over 300″.
The terrain you will hunt varies from dark timber, aspens, rolling sage hills, hay fields, river bottoms, open meadows, dense oak brush, pinon-juniper trees & cedar trees.
