At Ready Outfitters, we exist for hunters who want real elk hunting the way it’s meant to be—hard-earned, remote, and uncompromised. Hank has spent more than 20 years hunting this country, learning every drainage, where they feed, where they bed, where they rut, their escape routes and where mature bulls survive year after year. Hank also insures our guides are equipped with the same knowledge of the area. We intentionally limit the number of hunters we take each season to protect the pressure, the age class of our elk, and the integrity of the hunt. Every hunt is fair chase on public land, in true wilderness, for hunters who value effort over convenience and authenticity over guarantees.
These are deep wilderness hunts accessed only by horseback, pushing 7 to 11 hours into rugged, unforgiving country where roads don’t exist and bulls grow old. You’ll ride our own tough, seasoned horses—built for this terrain and capable for any rider willing to climb on and enjoy the ride.
All elk hunts are combo hunts, offering the opportunity to pursue deer, bear, wolf, and mountain lion at no additional cost if harvested. This is hunting that demands grit and rewards commitment—long miles, big country, and the kind of elk you only find where most hunters can’t or won’t go. This is real elk hunting—earned miles, honest effort, and an experience that stays with you long after the ride back out.
