Scouting Opportunity – We hunt an area for spikes that may take upwards of 15 years to draw for a big bull tag, and maybe you are getting close and would like to give a “once over” to the area in which you are applying.Even if you end up with one of our younger guides, he or she has probably spent many a fall in the elk woods chasing the elusive wapiti and has been taught first hand by parents and/or grandparents the finer art of elk hunting, and he or she is more than happy to share that knowledge with you. It gives a neophyte to the sport of elk hunting a chance to learn directly from guides who have many years’ elk hunting experience. Education – Some hunters are new to the game or have tried a few times and “didn’t even see an elk”…that is a story we hear more often than not.Usually in general season units, once a bull shows itself that is when the shooting begins. This type of education is not always available during general season hunts. Education – By seeing lots of elk in a brief time and seeing mature bulls interacting with cows during the rut, this allows you the opportunity to see elk behavior and witness elk vocalization first hand.To See Lots and Lots of Elk – Where we guide, you will see more elk in a week than you may see in a lifetime hunting general season “any bull” areas.These sportsmen just want the opportunity to be out in the woods with their friends and family enjoying all the benefits that a week in the elk woods offer He…or she does not want to “wait for the results of the draw” or apply in several states to see if they are “lucky enough” to be able to hunt. Opportunity – In my mind, the term “sportsman” or “hunter” applies to that someone who wants to hunt.10 Reasons you would want to spend money on a Spike Only Elk Hunt “Trophy” hunters may wonder to themselves…possibly out loud, why on earth would anyone pay to go on a spike only elk hunt? Well, as one who has been blessed to be raised out west chasing elk for the past 32 years, I feel reasonably qualified to answer that question and offer below 10 of my reasons one may be willing to not only hunt, but pay an outfitter for a spike only elk hunt. Why on earth would anyone want to pay to go on a “spike only” elk hunt? Hunt does not include personal gear, taxidermy, or gratuities. Your hunt includes packing in and packing out of camp, field care of your elk and packing to your vehicle at the trail head, hearty meals and 2-on-1 guiding. Come ride in nice Polaris UTV’s and see some awesome country with knowledgeable guides.

this is a high opportunity hunt for spike Elk with a lot of Elk herds in the area. This hunt is a camper stay, off road type hunt.

We are also offering spike hunts in an ATV rad unit for those hunters who can’t ride or don’t want to stay in tents. Including hunting gear, due to the rugged rough terrain we hunt in and the safety of our hunters and livestock. We have a weight limit for all horseback hunters of 240 lbs. This hunt books at least one year in advance, please call soon if this is a hunt you are interested in. If you choose to hunt the spike the tags are over the counter. This spike only hunt is truly a very unique experience. That is why we offer elk hunts for the same areas we hunt trophy elk. Sometimes just seeing these trophies makes your heart beat a little faster. We hunt the areas that are only accessible by foot or horseback and because of the way they have been managed, the possibility of seeing mature bulls makes it fun to hunt the areas even if you can’t harvest one. We are lucky enough to be licensed to guide in a couple of those very special areas like the Wasatch Mountains Limited Entry Area and Book Cliffs Limited Entry Area. The Utah Division of Fish and Game has managed for true trophy quality elk hunting. Utah is in the “good old days” of elk hunting right now.
