ARE YOU REALLY READY FOR THE ELK WOODS?

Don't wait until you are in the field to find out that you aren't ready for the hunt... A lot of hunters think they are ready for the hunt but get out there and realize that they are out of shape, can't call in elk, or their gear fails them mid-season... Don't be that guy with a downed elk in the backcountry that can't get the meat out because he wasn't realistic with his hunt plan.

Test your preseason training in a competition style event. Competing against others can add a different element to your training, & help you learn to deal with some of that "Buck Fever".

Event Activities

The Pack Out Challenge
brought to you by Kifaru international

The Pack out challenge is a simulated "Pack Out" of a bull elk. We use sand bags to replicate the size & weight of the average Bull Elk. You are required to haul all 4 quarters, the head, the tenderloins and backstrap. This challenge is timed, best time of the event wins! Solo & Team competitions offered.

Elk calling contest

Replicate the sounds that elk make during the rut. Contestants will be asked to make cow, calf & bull sounds followed by a 45 second free style.

ADULT & YOUTH divisions available.

3D Archery Tournament

3D archery tournament with a twist. All targets have an attached challenge shot. We place challenges on each shot to replicate situations that hunters may encounter while hunting.

(Example: Run to the target and back to the pin before shooting).
