WASHINGTON STATE
GENERAL SEASON GUIDED ELK HUNTS

GUARANTEED OVER THE COUNTER TAGS!

Washington state guided elk hunting

All of the hunts below are hunts conducted during the general Washington hunting season. These tags are available over the counter to both Residents and Non-Residents. Many people believe that if you don't draw the tag then you can't harvest quality big game animals. I am a firm believer that you can. With our specialty being public land hunting let us teach you how to find trophies no matter what the season. You don't have to wait years to hunt quality animals.

Guided Roosevelt Elk Hunts-Upfront Outfitters offers guided elk hunts on the West side of the Cascade Mountain range for Roosevelt and Cascade Roosevelt elk. The true Roosevelt elk species are typically larger bodied than the Rocky Mountain elk but have smaller horns. The Cascade roosevelt elk is a cross between a Rocky Mountain elk and a Roosevelt elk, creating a seperate category in the record book for Washington and Oregon. We hunt the west side of Interstate 5 in the coastal mountain range for true Roosevelt elk and we hunt east of the I-5 boundary for the Cascade Roosevelt..
Forest floor with ferns and underbrush crossing a brushy creek bottom to get to the uneducated elk


The terrain in these areas consist of second growth timber, steep canyons, creek bottoms filled with thick underbrush, and many logged areas which make for great glassing. For clients who have a hard time hiking the canyons, there are miles of walk in only areas accessible by gated logging roads.

Hunting methods-Various hunting methods are practiced depending on the weapon of choice and time of the year. Archery elk and early Muzzleloader hunts will consist of calling, spot and stalk and ambushing bulls. Rifle hunts and late season archery hunts will be mainly spot and stalk, glassing, still hunting slowly through timber and ambushing. For clients who can only walking short distances we strategically place ground blinds in areas of high elk travel.

Physical Condition-When you book a guided hunt with Upfront outfitters it is best to prepare for a physically demanding hunt. I recommend that you be in the best possible shape that you can be at the time of your hunt. Although we scout several months in advance and will have many good areas to hunt, some of these spots may be a mile or two from the nearest road. Mature animals do not like people, especially elk, and are often found in areas difficult to get to or long distances from traffic noise. If medical issues keep you from walking long distances please let us know and we will scout areas that will increase your success. Although it is best to be in good physical condition we can cater to all hunters and customize your hunt to meet your physical abilities. 

Guided Rocky Mountain Elk Hunts-Rocky Mountain elk habitat the east side of the Cascade Mountain range in Washington state. Washington has been a sleeper state for many years in the elk category but is now wide awake and producing some exceptional bulls. There is no reason why a hunter should not go home with a bull elk 300 inches or bigger in any of Washington states Rocky mountain elk units. Due to the Washington state hunting regulations general hunts for Rocky Mountain elk are spike only in most areas. You must draw a tag through the public drawing to hunt branched bulls in  most Washington state  Rocky Mountain elk units. Because of this we hunt our general tags on the West side of the state for Roosevelt elk and only hunt the east side for hunters who have drawn an Any Bull Tag. For more information on our special draw hunts please visit our DRAW HUNTS page.




Although Washington State does not require a person to have a guides license, you are required to have Liability insurance for your clients. You mus also have a special use permit on all State, WDFW and Federal lands. There are many people claiming to be guides in this state who are operating illegally.  They operate without Liability insurance and without permits. Hiring an illegal outfitter/guide puts you and your hunt at risk.
Please Help us stop the illegal outfitters. ONLY BOOK HUNTS WITH GUIDES HOLDING THE PROPER PERMITS AND INSURANCE request your guide show you proof.
