Any great trad elk hunts out there?

I was trying to find a good trad elk hunt to maybe go on this year or next. Does anyone know of a good place to go? I want to do a guided hunt and not just a drop and hunt type thing.
Thanks

Mark Turner at Rocky Mountain Big Game Adventures (www.rmbga.com) in Colorado is a dedicated stickbow hunter and I believe he has guided several trad. guys to elk, sheep, and mountain lions. Heckuva nice guy to boot. I don't remember what the cost is but I'd give him a shout just to discuss what he has to offer.

Randy Horne at Bar-H Outfitters is a trad hunter and has a excellent track record and high success rate. You do (though) have to have one or two preference points...depending on the year.

Veterans Hunt in Colorado State Forrest State Park. Around opening weekend. About 25 guys last year and we sponsored 6 returning Veterans. Great time had by all. Low cost DIY around $1000 including out of state tag.

Paul Moore @ W3outfitters/Chuck Davies Guide service. Check him out, great person, honest and even has a trad only reference list 1-877-826-0636
www.w3outfitters.com .
Lots of repeat bowhunters go with him every year, says alot about his success, price and hard work if you ask me. Worth at least a call, especially since the call is free.

That's where you go and hunt trad elk.

My best guess would be, an elk hunt using traditional elk.

Which one of us bit? :confused:

Lets make that an elk hunt using traditional equipment. Whew!

Thanks everyone, Im sure I will come up with something here. And yes, it would be a elk hunt with traditional gear, some guys think you should be able to shoot 50-60 yards, with a compound maybe but with traditional bows....no. So someone that knows trad can maybe set you up for closer shots. Not always I know but it helps if they hunt that way them selfs or understand the limits of trad bows
