Roosevelt Elk Hunts in Washington

This is a town-based hunt where you stay at a local motel and eat breakfast and evening meals at a couple local cafes. Your guide picks you up early each morning and you travel to nearby hunting areas consisting of a mix of public and private ground. The outfitter has his own 2,000 acre property, plus access to thousands of acres of private Timber Company ground.

If you are in the market for a Roosevelt elk, this hard-working, knowledgeable outfitter will not disappoint, and it’s a hunt you can plan without the worry of having to draw a tag! Just make your plans and go hunting. These hunts run 90% + opportunity historically for all weapons each year and they target mature, Roosevelt bulls, especially during archery and muzzleloader seasons. Rifle hunts are high success but a post rut hunt in November.

These hunts are conducted in western Washington on a 1×1 basis with the Outfitter himself involved in every hunt.
