We elk hunt
on over 16,000 acres, of which 100% is private land. Each year we
acquire Private Landowner Tags and enjoy exclusive use of the
ranches and land for our hunters. The light hunting pressure on
these ranches means bulls have a chance to reach full maturity.
You can rest assured that the big bull elk of your dreams could
show up on any given moment of your hunt. The Folsom area has a
well earned reputation of producing several record book class
animals each season.
Folsom Outfitters offers two different bull elk hunts; archery and
rifle. The dates for the archery hunt fall in September each year.
The rut
starts in early September, so the hunter can expect to hear lots of bugling and see a lot of
elk. The archery hunt is a very physically demanding hunt, not for the faint
of heart or an impatient
hunter. The fee for this hunt is $5,000.00 for a five-day,
2 on 1 hunt. Meals, lodging,
full guide service, field preparation of meat and caping, license
and tax is included in the price of these hunts.
The rifle bull hunt
season runs from October through December with the best hunting
occurring in the fall around October and November. The earlier
hunts in the first half of October are probably the best, as the rut
is still on but not as strong as in September. By the
middle of October the rut is pretty well finished however there
are still lots of bulls to be taken. The price
of the hunt is $6,500.00 for a five-day hunt, which includes meals
lodging, full guide service, field preparation of meat, caping,
license and tax. We take limited number of rifle bull elk hunters
so early booking is a must.
Both archery and rifle hunts take place in
pretty rugged terrain at an altitude between 6500 and 8000
feet. The hunts are conducted from 4x4 vehicles with spotting and
stalking being the primary means of hunting. Some tree stand
hunting along travel routes between bedding/feeding areas and
wallows may be utilized when conditions dictate. The
elk tags are for either sex in both the rifle and archery hunts.
If a hunter doesn't take a bull within the first several days, the
tag may also be used for a cow elk.
Cow elk hunts are from October
through January. The price of the hunt is $1,800.00 for a five-day hunt. Full
guide service, preparation of meat, meals, lodging, license and
tax are included in the price of the hunt.
All of these
hunts are guided by Kyle and are mainly 1x1. If a hunter
would like to bring a hunting companion or a non-hunting companion
then a 2x1 is not a problem. Give us a call is you have any
questions about this hunt. Let's go elk hunting!
