A buddy of mine is going with his dad and brother on his dad's dream hunt, horse back hunting for elk in the NE.
He asked me for your opinions on timing and packers.
His dad has to be back in Ottawa for Sept 15, so they are looking at going earlier, around the last couple days of Aug and first week of Sept to the 10th. Will the elk be calling and coming to the call or will it be more of a spot and stalk hunt??
About the packers, they were going with Steamboat, but they have set dates and those dates will not work for his dad, so they are looking at Tetsa River Outfitters. Has anybody had any experience with them?? How about their area, good elk?? It looks more moose country in some of the picts.
Any other suggestions for a horseback hunt w/packers up that way?? I mentioned Kevin, but thye want to go with the horses. I thought Big9 did resident pack trips, but cannot find any info and he is worried that they will just send him to a poor location and keep the good ones for the paying clients.
Any help would be great, thanks.
Cheers
