HUNT DETAILS:
On a fall hunt you are allowed to hunt any one of the primary animals. After success on your first choice, you may choose to hunt a second Primary animal. If you are successful on your second animal, a trophy fee will be charged. All hunters on fall hunts may hunt black bear and wolf at no extra charge. Their elk hunts are conducted during the rut which occurs from about the first of September until near the last of September. This is the very best time to hunt elk. During the rut the bull elk are very vocal in their search for cows and can be called using both bull and cow calls. There is a growing population of elk and they are expanding their range throughout the area. The mature bulls tend to have large, heavy antlers. There is also a six point restriction on the bulls which gives the smaller bulls a chance to reach maturity and a better prospect of harvesting a trophy bull. Hunting elk when they are bugling is a very exciting hunt and they make a very impressive trophy.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Most hunts are conducted from either a wall tent camp or a remote spike camp using backpack tents. The wall tents come equipped with a wood-burning heater and a propane stove for cooking. The outfitter provides comfortable cots, but you’ll need to bring your own warm sleeping bag and a Therm-a-Rest.

LICENSE INFORMATION:
License can be purchased over the counter and is the client's responsibility. You will need to coordinate with HFA or your outfitter prior to purchasing to ensure you purchase the required tag and licenses.
