DIY Elk Hunting Adventures
Due to an expansion of my fly fishing guide service, I will be very limited in my 2026 elk guiding. I will, however, still be offering my DIY Scouting Reports.
Unit 3 Reports are $500 and Unit 5 Reports are $300. (Unit 5 has much less public land.) all sales require a $100 refundable deposit to ensure the return of the reports after the season
In 2022, 65 percent of my DIY hunters harvested elk, a success rate much higher than the statewide average.
In 2023, about the same percent of my hunters had opportunities, but the coinciding of the Bear Dog-Chase season with the Archery Elk Season ruined several probable harvests. Additionally, I had two hunters who passed up reasonable shots on younger elk. If you are a decent hunter who is physically fit and willing to invest the time and shoe-leather, this is a package for you.
In 2024 and 2025, fifty percent of my DIY hunters harvested elk (the overall elk hunter harvest was under 35 percent)

"Bill had my elk on a string....He's the Elk Whisperer!"

"A textbook hunt.. Bill called in my bull from a mile away. He is the real deal!”
Mandy Bray
"Bill knew right where the elk would be. I harvested my elk before 9 a.m. on opening day. He's a great guide!"
