Planning 2025 Elk hunt

[wweaver79]

@RiverRatt this is good advice. Filling all those tags in one hunt will be really really difficult. Better off to make multiple hunts out of it and have helpers go on each hunt

Second this. I hunt with two others. We apply in 9 states all separately for all big game. We have multiple great hunts every year because of it. Someone draws we all go. Hunting especially elk is best done a team sport if you have the right people anyway. Elk are a chore. You all do not need or want tags especially in a new area where you will have more unknowns and variables -to much pressure to get all that done.

Agree, apply with one of them for either West or South and let the other two go and help and also learn the country for their hunt in a couple years when you two go as packers/spotters. If they are all good friends, split the meat equally than everyone has skin in the game.

Sub'd, I am also considering an elk hunt in 2025 western Wyoming star valley (Afton/smoot) and the Bridger-teton forest. I hunted this area in 2018 with a guide and group, but did not get an elk then. I now have 5 points and am debating whether to try myself or go with the guide again. I have never hunted anywhere out west by myself.
