Need an Elk Guide for father

[AZcoues_addict]

I'm seeking recommendations and names for my father. He is entertaining the idea of getting an Elk guide for his archery elk permit this fall. He already has talked to one guide, but wants more info. His hunt is in the Flagstaff area.

 

What he wants: Someone to call, and someone who is good at calling in and working bulls. Also someone who will help with the hard work if he gets one down.

What he does NOT need: Someone to set up camp, cook, scout and find a monster bull.

 

My father is in good shape, he's a good shot, and he's a great hunter. He has killed one 5x5 bull, and multiple cows with his bow, including multiple deer. He just wants someone to work bulls with him and hopefully get him within range of a nice 6x6. Unfortunately, I'm not the best elk caller, and I have so many hunts this fall that it will be difficult to get away and help him for more than 2-3 days, so I'm looking for advice from others!

 

PM if you have an issue posting.

 

Thanks!

I would recomend that you call those that are suporters of this site they are lined up on the right hand side of the main page. They are all good. If they can not help you then they will be able to point you in the right direction. I do not guide any longer so I gain nothing from any of them by telling you this. But I would say they are all a great bunch of guys that put in hard work to be what they are.

yes, look on the main page: http://www.coueswhitetail.com for the button ads on the righthand margin of the page to see the sponsors.

 

to get you started, here are a few of our sponsors that I think hunt archery elk fairly often in the Flagstaff area:

Give Matt Woodward of Borderland Adventures a call. He is a sponsor of CouesWhitetail as well. Very good hunter, knows elk, very flexible in guide packaging, and truly the salt of the earth type guy. If you or your dad call him you will know what I mean. And he won't sub guide him out. His phone number is 520-820-4728. His web address is www.borderlandadventures.com

I used Lance and John at Timberland Outfitters last year for my archery bull tag in unit 10. I wouldnt hesitate to use them again or recommend them. They were fantastic! I took my own camp trailer and cooked my own food, pretty much just what you are wanting. You should give him a call. Hes a sponsor of this site.

 

Good luck.

I would give Matt Woodward a call. What unit did your pops get drawn for?

[joeeden]

Definitely give Matt a call at Borderland Adventures. Top Notch outfitter, great bunch of guys at Borderland. Your Dad will not be disappointed. He helped me on a 6a bull hunt a few years back, and if I could ever get the tag again I will not hesitate to ask for his help again!

Another vote for Borderland. I used them last year near Flagstaff, and we were on bulls the entire hunt. Matt can definitely taylor the hunt to whatever you need. I didn't draw this year, but will be using him again, hopefully next year. He is worth the call.

 

Good luck.

My cousin is the best caller in the world, bar none...but he is no longer a guide.
