Please give me some info on the best ranch/area to rifle hunt while the elk are bugling. Would a private ranch/reservation be the best option?Thanks kld

A quality CWMU in Utah would be a good bet.
Do you have a budget in mind?

No particular budget requirements.

Sent you a PM.

Look at the Hill Ranch in southern Colorado. Don't be surprised with the sticker shock though.

Utah!

Look at Deseret

good luck getting that tag.

I suggested that he buy the permit as
He is a non-resident and cannot apply for a
CWMU.

The Hill Ranch in Colorado sounds perfect, but their contact link for email does not work!

A bow hunt in Idaho is the rut hunt..Somewere North of Sun Valley..Around SAlmon, on the montana border, anywhere there I timber..

My pick would be a Unit 54 rut hunt for a 100% on a big bull, rut or no rut its probably a draw hunt for archery and I know it is for rifle. ..I put in for bull elk every year to go with my depredations tag for a cow..Hard to draw a bull, but a rancher friend gives me a cow permit every year. depredation cows don't count for a kill, Im 100% on cow elk.. You still get your bull or regular cow tag on regular hunts. So you can get two cows that way, but I have not done that as one cow is a years worth of meat for me and mama, along with a deer or two after the kids raid the freezer from time to time/..
