ever a dull moment hunting this great animal. The Bear Paw’s has become very well known for the huge mature bulls. The elk in the Bear Paw’s are unique because they are very spread out throughout the area and have become very nomadic. The bull to cow ratio is like no other and it’s more common to see bulls than cows. The archery season begins September 1st and runs into the rifle season which begins in late October and runs to the end of November.

From camp we travel by horseback to different drainages during each hunt. This enables us to access some of the most remote and beautiful areas in the country. It also allows us to accommodate people of mixed ages and physical abilities.

The bulls found are “World Class”. Two factors contribute to the fantastic trophy quality available. First, our areas are a “limited entry” bull elk-hunting district. This means that trophy bull elk are on a very strict quota for hunters. Second, these areas have extremely limited access due to the fact that the majority of the land is private. Both of these factors give bull elk a chance to mature and attain the age necessary for optimum horn growth. A special permit is required to hunt either sex elk. 50% of my clients draw their permit. The possibility of a hunter harvesting a 320+P&Y or larger bull on this hunt is not unrealistic. My clients have harvested 350+ P&Y official gross bull elk. Lone Wolf Guide Service strives to assist in this process while offering only the very finest private ranches for it’s client hunters. Please call today to arrange the time slot that best suits your needs! I will do my best to help you decide based upon the results of previous years and the hunting method that you are most comfortable with.
