Outdoors International offers some amazing elk hunting trips in the Lower 48, Alaska, Canada and even New Zealand. These elk hunts range from remote wilderness, horse supported hunts to hunting lodges on private property, to high fence estates, and everything in between. The rut (September-October) is prime for bugling bulls, with archery, rifle, or muzzleloader options. Tags are typically drawn via lottery (We can help you with your applications), though outfitter allocated and over-the-counter or landowner vouchers are also available.

Our hunt was excellent.
We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.
Jesse Neveau
What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
