Reviewer Comments: My first elk hunt was in 2000 with a muzzleloader.I killed a 5x6, 290 class bull on the first day. I had obtained a bear tag and killed a 250 lb. bear on the second day of bear hunting with my muzzleloader. My buddy killed a 6x7, 300 class bull on the last day of the 5 day hunt. There were 6 hunters in camp - we killed three bulls,(290, 300, 325 class) and a bear. The other three hunters passed up or missed bulls. In 2002 I hunted archery elk with Timberline. I saw 18 bulls during the seven day hunt. I passed up 4 bulls (30 yds or closer). I was within 25 yds. of a 330 class bugling bull but never got a clear shot. I missed another 330 class bull on the last day at 50 yds. My fault. Perry and his wife Brenda run a first class operation. Real nice ranch house where you eat breakfast and dinner. The hunters stay in the bunk house with a bathroom/hot shower. Two beds to a room. The guides have been with Perry for years and know the country and the ELk. This unit is a muzzleloader/archery unit only and has not been rifle hunted for years.

Reviewer Comments: I spent 11 days in unit 27 AZ an sept of 01.I saw 3 elk on my whole trip and it took me 6 years to draw this tag.I have hunted with this outfitter for 4 years 2 out of the four years I did not see 1 elk in 9 days the other 2 years saw 1 elk and killed it that year and the other year saw 1 elk and missed.The area has elk it is a well known fact.I am in good shape and can keep up with the owner and his guides no problem.I dont think they do enough pre season scouting and patterning.

Colorado Hunting Information
Colorado is one of the best western states for trophy mule deer hunting and has the largest population of elk in the west.
Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
Ohio Hunting Information
Ohio is best known for its trophy whitetail deer. In fact, the world record non-typical whitetail was harvested in Greene county by Mike Beatty in November 2001,
