In case anybody is interested.Next year's Montana hunt is $3100 for the outfitter.The guaranteed license will be about $900.Air fare will be about $600.I'll leave at least a $300 tip.Lodging in Choteau and Great Falls will be about$150 and maybe another $100 for meals.So,it's a $5000 deal.
I have friends that drive out and hike in and have killed some nice Elk.But,where I like to go I would have to buy a couple of horses and probably four pack mules.Which is not reallistic for several reasons.
I know when people think of outfitters they think about New Mexico auctions or Texas caged deer hunts.Pretty unfair to the MT,CO,ID,WY,UT,outfitters who work their butts off to get hunters in to an area that they would never see any other way.
