Elk Hunting Itinerary
On the afternoon that you arrive at the Covered Wagon Ranch, you will be greeted and shown to your cabin. Supper is served family style in the main lodge, and it is there that we will become acquainted with guides and hunters. Your hunt begins the morning after your arrival…after breakfast. While the guides gather your gear and start packing the mules, you will be taught about our horses and horsemanship skills. This is an orientation we give regardless of riding experience so that we (guides, hunters, and horses) are on the same page.

Upon your arrival into camp, after a three hour horseback ride, a hearty lunch will await you.
The afternoon bow hunt or rifle hunt may consist of a short ride to one of many open meadows where you and your guide might spot, glass stalk, or sit and watch heavily used areas for a bull elk to appear. The next morning a generous breakfast will greet you. Your morning hunt may consist of still hunting, spotting, stalking or bugling. After the rest of the week is spent hunting, we will return to the Covered Wagon Ranch, and eat another hearty supper. The next morning, breakfast is served and you return to reality as you travel home.
