High Fence Elk Hunting

High fence elk hunting can be a way to achieve your dreams of killing a big bull and done in the right place with the right outfitter can help you do it affordably. Having a chance to hunt elk that can push into the upper 300’s can be a very expensive endeavor. On public land, it’s all about drawing a tag and that literally takes twenty plus years of points accumulation nowadays. That is both expensive and time consuming. You still have to succeed in finding and killing that big bull which the odds are against you. The other way is to buy a landowner tag in states where they are available and those tags, by themselves, go for $15,000 and many times, much more. Again, not a guaranteed strategy for success. Or you can go on a big property like this one https://topendadventures.com/2022/12/19/high-fence-elk-hunt-canada/ and be guaranteed to get the bull of your dreams for under $10,000. Many hunters for both cost and probability go the high fence elk hunting route in today’s world.

The Key To Quality Experience

The key to a quality experience on a high fence elk hunting property is the size of land and horn configuration of the bulls on that property. Depending on terrain type anything over 3000 acres is going to “feel big” and give you a much higher quality hunt. As far as horn type goes, going with an outfitter that has a lot of main frame 6 x 6’s, 7 x 7’s and 8 x 8’s is what you want. Your bull will be amazing on the wall. Bulls over 400 will often get there with many extra points. So know that going in. If you choose bulls over 400 then that is likely what you are going to get.
