OIf you want to become a better elk hunter...seek knowledge. If you want to kill elk adopt the following from Sir Winston Churchill as a key a part of your strategy: "Never ...never ...never give up!"

For over 20 years our mission at ElkCamp.com...Answers For Elk Hunters has been passing on the knowledge about elk hunting with which we have been blessed. Thanks for the opportunity to make a difference!​

Just like a warm inviting campfire, since 1996 ElkCamp.com remains a friendly place to hang out, learn, and share your own knowledge with others about this great adventure we know as elk hunting.  No other elk hunting website has the history that ElkCamp.com has had over the years. There can only be one original. There can be only one #1...and it's ElkCamp.com!

I hope to see you around the fire

"When the man goes into the wilderness to change into a hunter that surviving kinship with the savage revives in his being, and all unconsciously dominates him with driving passion. Passion it is because for long he has been restrained in the public haunts of men. His real nature has been hidden. The hunting of game inhibits his thoughts, He feels only. He forgets himself. He sees the track, he hears the stealthy step, he smells the wild scent; and his blood dances with the dance of the ages. Then he is a killer, The ages roll back. Then he is a brother to the savage. Then all unconsciously he lives the chase, the fight, the death-dealing moment as they were lived by all his ancestors down through the misty past." Zane Grey
