Elk Hunting the Bob Marshall

[Brian in Montana]

Never hunted there myself, but I've heard that for a big wilderness area it's actually getting a little crowded.

I'm just looking more for general tips on how to prepare for a backpacking trip and what kinds of things to expect

Hunt wise... it's like a fortress. Scale the walls to get in. Big issue is how will you get out with an elk. How far? How many days to pack out?
The big aspect over my fun backpacking and flipped hunting adventures in the Bob... Weather can flip extremes faster than one could imagine.

How did it pan out?

Here is how I figured out how to hunt the Bob. I been in 7 times for bow hunt elk in rut and rifle. Pick the area you think u want to go in. Call the forest service ask where the guides are camped and hunt there. The forest service has to tell your where the guide camp is. Then you will have the area to hunt narrowed down.

What a clever idea!
