how much does it cost to hunt elk in montana and what kind of rifle would u use

[thunderdog512]

I found an outfitter for elk in wyoming for 4000 grand which is one of the cheaper ones i've found and I've heard 300 win mag is a good elk caliber and i would get it in a remington 700 or something along those lines. hope this helps

Use an outfitter and the most powerful rifle you can shoot accurately. I would say .30 caliber is minimum unless you really know what your doing with a .270. An outfitter because it will save you frustration trying to locate areas with elk in them and increase your chances of success.

Dont know about cost but i would either use a 7mm08 or 30-06

Sine the Outfitter Tags are no more, the NR cobo tag will cost you $886 in the drawing with about a 50-50 shot of being drawn. Plus your expenses. 7mm mag or .300 mag for a rifle.

Duh! NR Combination tag....

guided it would be anywhere from 4000-6000, unguided or semi guided probly from 1000-2500 dollars. a good caliber for elk is .300 mag or 7mm . .338 for long distance hunting is preferred among many elk hunters.

I would check with the Montana Department of Conservation for permit costs, etc.,. That way you will be getting 100% correct information instead of taking someone's word for it. Even though many calibers will harvest an elk, I would recommend a .270 or larger caliber. A 30.06 would be an excellent choice. It is one of the most versatile firearms on the planet as far as ammunition is concerned. It is a great all-around firearm and will adequately harvest nearly every big game animal in North America.
