Of the six subspecies of elk in North America, the three with hunt-able populations classified by B&C are American elk, roosevelt elk & tule elk.
Moose hunting is something that even the most well traveled high budget hunters only do a few times in their lifetime. Not because they aren’t enjoyable, but more that they are a bucket list species, once you have gotten the one you are looking for, most call it good. Most hunters are rookies at booking a hunt, and I find that many of them don’t have the proper information to find the hunt that would satisfy their trophy quality expectations, physical condition level and budget.
