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.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares
