The Best Elk Hunting on Planet Earth!

Over at Old West Guides and Outfitters we believe we work the absolute hardest to make sure you have the best time and the most successful hunt possible. Our elk camps are designed to accomodate multiple people at a time and that you personally have a highly trained guide and feel that we are giving you top notch treatment. We have very high success rates because of the amount of work that we put in to preparing for each and every hunt. Our dogs run dry grounds as well as every other condition possible to chase cats on and we have countless years of combined experience.
