Best Places to Hunt Elk

Elk are the kings of the deer family that live on large ranges of land. Luckily, there are many public lands that offer areas for both elk and their hunters. Wild public lands give hunters the opportunity for a real mountaineering experience. If you’d like to brave the rugged wilderness of the western United States from Montana to Utah to Arizona all while lugging around your gun and hunting equipment, check out this list of the best public lands to hunt elk.

Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon

It’s a rainy area, but worth the hike through the rain. Just wear the proper attire and be safe.

This place is quite popular amongst the hunting gun owners so watch out for other hunters to stay safe, but there is an abundant elk population.

Cibola National Forest, New Mexico
