We're talking prime land, expert guides, and some of the best elk hunting you'll find this side of the Rockies. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time chasing elk, we've got you covered. Grab your gear and let's hit the woods!

Inside the Hunt

Picture this: You're up before dawn, sipping hot coffee as the mist rises off the Virginia hills. Your guide's giving you the lowdown on where the elk have been moving. Next thing you know, you're stalking through the underbrush, every sense on high alert. That's what you're in for on this 5-day hunt. We keep groups small - max 10 hunters - so you get plenty of elbow room and one-on-one time with our guides. You'll be staying in comfy lodges, chowing down on hearty meals, and spending your days in some of Virginia's most prime elk country. Bring your own crossbow or rifle if you've got a favorite, or use our top-notch gear. Just remember to snag your hunting license before you show up - that's the one thing not included in the $4,500 price tag.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Virginia's elk country ain't no walk in the park - and that's exactly why we love it. You'll be covering everything from dense forests to open meadows, so come ready to put in some miles. Our guides know these woods like the back of their hand, and they'll teach you how to spot elk sign, read the wind, and move silently through the brush. We use a mix of spot-and-stalk and calling techniques, depending on the conditions. If you've never heard a bull elk bugle up close, get ready for a sound that'll send shivers down your spine. And when it comes to gear, layers are your best friend. Virginia weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for everything from crisp mornings to warm afternoons.

Target Game Breakdown

Let's talk elk. Virginia's herd is growing strong, with some impressive bulls roaming these hills. You're looking at Rocky Mountain elk, reintroduced to the state back in the early 2000s. These aren't your average deer - a full-grown bull can weigh up to 700 pounds and stand 5 feet at the shoulder. Their antlers? We're talking up to 4 feet wide. Peak rut usually hits in September and October, when the woods echo with bugling bulls. That's when the action really heats up. But even outside the rut, these elk offer a challenging hunt that'll test your skills and patience. They've got keen senses and a knack for disappearing into the landscape. When you finally get a bull in your sights after days of tracking, it's a moment you'll never forget.

Hunter Highlights

Our hunters come back year after year, and it's not just for the elk. They rave about the whole experience - from the camaraderie around the campfire to those heart-stopping moments when a bull steps into view. Many say it's the most challenging and rewarding hunt they've ever been on. The scenery alone is worth the trip, with Virginia's mountains putting on a show, especially if you catch the fall colors. And let's not forget the sense of accomplishment when you finally connect with an elk after days of hard hunting. It's not just about filling a tag - it's about pushing yourself and experiencing the wild in a way most folks never will.
