    WANTED: Elk partner or group willing for a +1...

    Well years ago I did a little wanted ad on HBC and ended up finding one of the best hunting partners I know. I trusted him and took him into a very special sheep spot and we ended up with a lot of success over the years. Some might remember reading a few of the stories on HBC.

    Well it is time to search out an elk partner or group that would allow for a +1. I am hoping that someone or a group will open up the trust circle as I did and let me join in. I am well aware of how sacred spots are and if you want to get to know the type of guy I am, just search up my stories.

    I am hoping to go north this year as region 4 hasn't been great for me.

    If my hunting buddy and myself weren’t bumbling elk noobs, we would jump on this for sure, we plan to spend another few weeks up in zone 6 this September making all the same mistakes again haha

    good luck finding a group, karma will surely pay off for ya !

    Someone would be wise to add this guy to their circle. Read your stories over the years, Andrew and always enjoyed them.

    Curious why you want to head North over R4? A guy like you who can pound the back country would certainly figure out that WK country pretty quickly. Despite some of usual griping by a few locals, the WK is still serving up some phenomenal bulls year after year. Especially for guys willing to get back into those untapped drainages. It would definitely give you more options to scout and dial things in.

    Caution...he sure gave out a bunch of detailed info in his archery sheep thread...very specific to the spot he shot it...info he gained from another source similar to this ask. Not to be trusted in my opinion. YMMV

    I have dealt with Andrew a number of times. I think he is a very good man that will abide with any agreement he makes with you.

    haha. Yes I did and anyone that has hunted the bow zone knows the spot too. Not too tough to figure out and yes I hiked the main trail up to the zone and glassed up sheep… ohhhhh the secrets!

    The way this year is beginning for me, I might not be making a trip in the fall, although we were planning for either the 2nd week
    or last week of September.
    But, if you leave me a pm, with your info, I can keep you in mind, and if not this year, in the future for sure.
    I have no issues having new partners in the group, which now days only seems to be me and one other friend.
    But, I am warning you, it hasn't been going all that great for a few years now, so that your "heads up"

    Also, for others to consider, maybe some extra details about you on what you may need or already have.
    Are you able to travel up on your own to meet if it is a group already?
    Or, are you looking for someone to share costs up.
    If so, do you have a trailer or require to other to have that or use a wall tent etc.
    Just so others considering may know up front what kind of arrangements are involved.
    Seems like your equipped already.

    thanks, I'll send you a pm

    I am 100% self sustained, no need to share travel costs but if it works out then great.

    10x12 wall tent, stove etc.
    truck, trailer if need be
    generator and freezer I bring for early trips
    all camp gear
