Any suggestions, ideas or general help would be much appreciated. My oldest son and his two friends he met in college think they are at the time in their lives that they should go elk hunting. Each is just 40 or turning 40 yrs. old and in good shape. This threesome has made a fishing trip each of the last several yrs. and are very adventurous. Canoe/fishing trips in the Minnesota BWCA, Quetico provincial area, Nipigon area both in Quebec, Canada and bonefishing in the Bahamas. All three are good whitetail hunters and have hunted strictly with muzzleloaders for some time now and prefer to use that firearm for elk (inline). One of my sons friends has hunted Idaho and has taken 2 cows with centerfire rifle. They prefer a DIY hunt or dropped into a elk camp/later picked up by a guide and are willing to possibly use a first year hunt to learn the area so to enable a later successful hunt. They are open to any state but are not at this time needing that the hunt is for trophy bulls or even any bull. My only experience that I have for them was from my bowhunting Coulter Mesa in Colorado and the Crazy Mountain Range in Montana back in the mid 70's and know that many things have likely changed since then. Type of season/state, license issues (drawing or no-draw). Thank you in advance.
