This course is for those who don't want or can't afford a guided hunt, but would still like to have a mentor help them accelerate their growth.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
HOW MANY HUNTERS WILL BE AT CAMP?
There will be a minimum of 4 hunters in a camp and a maximum of 6. We will only put more than 4 hunters in a camp if everyone in the camp is booking together
A minimum of 4 to a camp does not mean that a hunter can't book if they only have a group of 2 or are a single hunter. We can pair 2 groups of 2 together or place multiple single hunters in a camp
The hunting units are large and hunters will have plenty of room to split up. We do a minimum of 4 for safety reasons and to allow the extremely low cost of all we offer. We are hundreds of dollars below the average drop camp
WHAT CAN I HUNT? HOW DO I GET A TAG?
Hunters will be able to choose between hunting in any bull units and spike only units.
An any bull unit is an OTC unit. Archery hunters are allowed to shoot any elk, cows and bulls in Archery season, Rifle hunters are allowed to shoot any bull elk, but only bulls.
Spike Elk hunts take place in limited entry units that regularly require years of building points to draw a tag in. Hunters are allowed to hunt in these units with OTC tags but are only allowed to harvest spike bulls and cows in the archery hunt and spike bulls only in the rifle hunt.
We will procure the tags for you for to make things hassle free. But keep in mind the cost of the state tag and license is not included in the course!
SHOULD I HUNT IN ANY BULL UNIT OR A SPIKE UNIT?
That is a hard question to answer as spike units and any bull units each come with their own set of pluses and minuses. In a spike unit, hunters will generally see a lot more elk and have less pressure from other hunters. It can be frustrating seeing a giant bull and not be able to pull the trigger. The any bull units are nice because you can shoot a large bull if you see one, but can also be frustrating because there are lower elk numbers and more pressure from other hunters.
If given the choice on which unit would be better for a first time hunter, Tate would probably say the spike units. It is easier to stay motivated when you are seeing elk everyday, and the bulls will be more responsive to calls in these areas. And there are spikes around. If you have hunted before or are up for a fun challenge, any bull units are the way to go.
The reality is that OTC hunting is hard and can be frustrating, especially to people who otherwise primarily hunt on private land. But it is also rewarding and accelerates growth. When you finally do get the tag of a lifetime, the question will no longer be, "will I kill an elk," the question will be, "how big."
