Roosevelt Elk
As legendary as the black bear, Vancouver Island's monstorous Roosevelt Elk grow to epic proportion. The Island's elk population is on a strong growth trend and recently Vancouver Island Guide Outfitters received 3 of the coveted tags. Boone and Crockett bulls 300 or better are the objective.
Hunts are 7 days during the end of the rut in early October. Bulls are still bugling and usually with the cows. This can be a strenous hunt and hunters should be ready for lots of hiking and glassing. Elk hunts can be combined with Deer and Black Bear for a mixed bag hunt.
We have one of the last available Vancouver Island Roosevelt elk tags until the new allocation round in 2012.
