If you think you can t afford to hunt elk because it s too expensive, the time has come to take a closer look. First off, you should choose your companions carefully.
Nothing can ruin a trip quicker than a member of the group who doesn t fit in.
Each hunter should have the same expectations, and be willing to abide by a frugal budget as well as any minor discomforts caused by your economy plan. Let s assume you live 2,000 miles from Colorado, where you intend to hunt. I m selecting Colorado as an example because it s the only major elk state where nonresidents can buy an elk tag across the counter. Other states require a lottery draw or are sold on a first-come system. If you intend to hunt another state, you may have to pay more for an elk tag.
