METHOD OF HUNTING ELK

Rifle Season - During rifle season, the elk are at the tail end of the rut. We target open hillsides and ridge tops during this season. Hunters should be prepared for shots as close as 40 yards and as far away as 400 yards(+). We do a lot of sitting and watching the hillsides for feeding elk. While sitting, we will cow call occasionally to lure any interested bull out into the open.

Archery - The days are long in September, but are also very exciting. We typically hike to the ridge tops in the morning where the bulls are hanging. If the morning hunt doesn't produce, we will stay up on the ridges until the bulls wake up for the evening fun. Calling is the best method to get on these bulls. However, many times we will sit on a trail or wallow and ambush them without calling.

Hunter Safety: If you were born after 1975, you will need to show valid proof of completion of the hunters safety course, or show your license from another state.

Safety Orange: is not required in Idaho, however for safety reasons we recommend an orange vest and orange backpack.
