COACHED ADVENTURE ELK CAMP HUNTER Q & A

THE WHOLE GOAL IS FOR YOU TO HUNT AS IF YOU ARE DIY

So if you plan to drive in, camp and use only your truck, then that is your mode of hunt travel which is just fine. However, just as on a DIY hunt, using your truck may limit your access and require more walking. Which may be just how you want to hunt. Its all about preference. A truck is way quieter, but limited. A SxS is generally louder, but can go places a truck won’t and saves wear and tear. An ATV can go in tighter places, but carry less gear, can be noisy, and have limited space for a second person unless built for two.

As per both our properties, a side by side will give you more motorized access into areas that are inaccessible by truck. A Truck, SxS or even a two-up ATV will insure you have room for your coach. 


This is an absolute “Real World” DIY scenario and if need be, part of the learning process and takes some careful thought and logistics. If you were actually on a  DIY hunt, here are some things to consider:

PART ONE – MEAT PLAN: First off, if you are flying in to hunt, you have to have a plan for getting your meat/antlers back home. There are several ways to skin that cat, but the critical part will be timing. The meat will have to be processed and frozen, which depends on the processor having an “expedited” price (We will have that info for you on our area), skull will have to be cleaned… So you have to consider how many days that it will take and if your flight home is an open ended ticket that allows for variables. Once that is worked through, you can either plan on shipping the meat from a shipping agent on your way back to the airport, or you can tape up the cooler , the antlers/skull, and check them as baggage (generally way cheaper). Be sure to check with the airlines on their policies with this.

PART TWO – HUNT TRAVEL: Knowing what has been explained above, the answers to this would be 1) Rent a truck to hunt out of, and/or 2) Rent a SxS. Daily rates in our area will run you $350 to $450 a day. Trailering options have to be worked out as well.

ON YOUR ELKBROS ADVENTURE COACHED HUNT:

If you are flying in and 1) it is worked out ahead of time, AND 2) there is availability… our coaches may use their hunt vehicles or camp Vehicle/UTV for an additional cost of $550 for the hunt, paid up front. No different than helping a partner with equipment & fuel costs.

Getting your meat and antlers/skull home will be your responsibility. However, we are here to suggest solutions prior to the hunt.

Yes, your coach is also your partner or one of your partners and will be with you every day. You should plan to have room for them.

 

CHASE RANCH –

POWER: The Chase has power hookups in different locations but mainly on the Porch of the Camp Headquarters and inside the Common Room of the Camp Headquarters. Bring your own powerstrip if you need to power/charge multiple items.
WATER/SHOWER/TOILET: There is a shower and toilet. The water used for shower/toilet/cleaning etc, is well water and has a sulfuric smell. Drinking water will be supplied in water jugs and possibly a limited supply of water bottles. Adventure Campers need to bring their own identifiable drinking cup that has a lid or can be closed/sealed.
CELL SERVICE: Depending on your service, you should have cell service from Base Camp at ElkBros Headquarters. However, once you are inside the Chase Canyon, cell service disappears except for high ridge locations. A Sat device (We mostly use Zoleo’s) is your best bet for communication.

MARTINEZ CAMP –

POWER: Plan for a remote situation with a solar or fuel generator, solar rechargeable batteries or devices. We do have a solar power and lighting system at the Staff cabin with limited charging abilities if you get in a bind. Fuel Generators must be turned off by 10pm
WATER/SHOWER/TOILET: There is a shower and we have two outhouse toilets. The water used for shower/toilet/cleaning etc, is spring water and is not designated as potable. Drinking water will be supplied in water jugs and possibly a limited supply of water bottles. Adventure Campers need to bring their own identifiable drinking cup that has a lid or can be closed/sealed.
CELL SERVICE: Except for the fortunate connection on some high ridge locations, cell service is basically non-existent. A Sat device (We mostly use Zoleo’s) is your best bet for communication.
We will have a Starlink device that will be in use for at least 30 minutes a day if you need connect to your loved ones back home. We totally understand the need to let your family know you are safe and having an amazing time. However, for the best outdoor experience, we highly recommend that you disconnect from all the other “Real World” craziness you left behind and wanted to get away from.

Your biggest issue will be mosquitos. We may have a wet summer and the mosquitos will thrive. However, here in NM, we have never sprayed for or had issues with critters like ticks and chiggers.

New Mexico has both black bears and mountain lions. They are hunted in the country you will be in, so they do have a natural fear. We would say to be respectful of the wild, not concerned. And if you find yourself in an encounter, DO NOT TURN AND RUN. Face them, get big, get noisy and make sure you can defend yourself with your weapon if it comes down to it.
However, a wounded or dyeing elk should also ALWAYS be approached from the rear, weapon ready, and with caution.

We will have a full sized elk, deer and a practice/proficiency target that we use for instruction and practice sessions. However we encourage you to bring your own target as well as it could be set up closer to your camp and allow more convenient practice. Always practice safety and make sure you know what’s in your background and are shooting away from any other camps or people.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Purchasing Your Elk Tag

When, Where & How ?

It’s that time of year when the excitement begins, logistics start to formulate and the checklists begin. And questions about getting your Elk License are at the top of the list.
So let’s give you the info so you know what to expect and to be ready.
 

Let’s start with WHEN?

Each year the NM Game & Fish allots each ranch their tag numbers and assigns and sends the paperwork listing digital authorization codes for each allotted tag. That happens generally in July, we will keep you updated.
Once we receive our Authorization codes and a hunt is paid in full, we send each of our hunters their code with instructions and directions to purchase their license and get their “Tag” in either paper form to be mailed to them, or in digital form using the NM Game & Fish App on their phone.

 

Where?

You will use the NM Game & Fish Online Licensing Website:
 
Initial step prior to getting your code:
If you have applied or hunted in NM and already have an account in their system, you are ready for when it’s time to purchase. Otherwise you need to go to the site and create a new account to get your CID (Customer ID). Best to do this ahead of time and make sure you record your username/password for when it’s time to purchase your license.In fact, if you already have an account, go ahead right away and verify that you can login. No failure points!
 

How?

Once we send you your Authorization Code, we will also send complete instructions to purchase your elk license.
We also highly encourage all of our September/October hunters to purchase a bear license($260 Non-resident). We do not charge a fee for you to be hunting a bear while still hunting elk and only charge a $750 Harvest fee if you kill or draw blood. Both ranches have great opportunity to see a bear while chasing elk. October hunters, you are advised to check with us prior to purchasing your license in case of season closure do to the harvest quota being met.

Elk Herd Analysis - Mental Checklist

What follows is a clean, field-usable mental checklist a hunter can literally run through when things get confusing, quiet, chaotic, or high-pressure. It’s designed to slow the mind without slowing action. Think of this as a decision filter, not a rigid rulebook.

Stop. Observe. Interpret. Decide.

STEP 1: WHERE AM I IN THE SEASON?

(This frames every decision that follows.)

      • Pre-rut / Early season
      • Peak rut
      • Post-rut
      • Late season / survival mode

Ask Yourself:
“What should elk be prioritizing right now—food, breeding, recovery or security?”

STEP 2: WHICH ELK AM I DEALING WITH?

(Not all elk = same response.)

      • Cow group
      • Satellite bulls
      • Herd bull with cows
      • Mature lone bull

Ask Yourself:
“If I were this elk, how would I react to pressure, calling, or movement?”

STEP 3: WHAT DID THEY JUST TELL ME?

(Elk always communicate—verbally, visually or through an action.)

      • Bugled aggressively
      • Location bugle only
      • Chuckled from a distance
      • You bumped elk.. moved out slow & unsure
      • You blew out elk.. winded you

Interpret—not emotionally, logically:
“Was that confidence, curiosity, timidness, uncertainty, reactionary, fear, or routine movement?”

STEP 4: PRESSURE CHECK (THE MOST SKIPPED STEP)

(Pressure dictates behavior more than rut does.)

      • High or Low use area
      • Other hunters nearby
      • Recent boot tracks / ATV / camps
      • Easy access nearby
      • Midday or evening pressure spike

Ask Yourself:
“Is this a high use or low use area of human activity? Where does this herd go when humans show up? ”

STEP 5: WHAT ARE ELK PRIORITIZING RIGHT NOW?

(Rank these in order.)

      • Security
      • Feed
      • Cows (Breeding)
      • Water

Rule:
Elk often abandon the lower priorities to protect the higher ones.

STEP 6: WHAT TIME OF DAY IS IT—AND WHAT DOES THIS HERD DO NOW?

(Not what elk do—what this herd does.)

      • Early morning transition
      • Midday bedding window
      • Afternoon staging
      • Evening movement

Ask Yourself:
“Does this herd typically move, lock down, or relocate at this hour?”

STEP 7: TERRAIN REALITY CHECK

(Reality and observation tells you more than maps.)

      • Wind direction & thermals
      • Escape routes available or favored 
      • Bedding area quality
      • Travel corridors vs dead ends

Ask Yourself:
“If pressured right now, where is the next safest, quietest place they can reach to meet their needs & priorities?”

STEP 8: CALL, MOVE, OR WAIT? (ONLY THREE OPTIONS)

(Anything else is just overthinking.)

      • Call — if I can create an encounter through their confidence, aggressiveness or curiosity
      • Move — if location beats interaction
      • Wait — if patience lets elk make the mistake

Rule of thumb:
If you have a response or visual & don’t know which one to do–If not within striking distance, move & close as much as vegetation, terrain and conditions allow… review your 3 options.
If still not sure–wait and observe… continue to weigh options.

 

 

STEP 9: DID I CHANGE THE HERD’S BEHAVIOR?

(Your last move mattered. Evaluate it.)

      • More vocal?
      • Shut down?
      • Relocated?
      • No reaction?

Ask Yourself:
“Did my action increase opportunity—or reduce it?”

STEP 10: WHAT’S MY NEXT BEST MOVE—NOT MY EMOTIONAL ONE?

(This is where kills happen.)

      • Shut up and let him come.
      • Call to redirect
      • Stay tight and hunt slow
      • Parallel and move ahead and into
      • Loop ahead and cut them off
      • Get on level / Drop elevation / gain elevation
      • Abandon and relocate

Tell Yourself:
“Know when to hold them, know when to fold them. But always put yourself into the best odds of an opportunity”

ONE-SENTENCE RESET (Use Anytime Things Go Sideways)

Continually tell your self this:

“Elk don’t disappear—they reposition based on CURRENT needs/priority, pressure, conditions, and safety.”

Re-evaluate and go HUNT!

ElkBros Tip - Your Coach's Basic Hunt Strategy

Elk Hunting Preseason Training Plan

The meeting began with introductions and a discussion about training for elk hunting. Joe emphasized the importance of early preparation and proper training to avoid injuries, warning against the urge to rush training in the weeks before a hunt. He introduced Preston Ward, a physical therapist specializing in hunter fitness, who shared his background in working with hunters to prevent and treat injuries. The discussion focused on the concept of preseason training, with Preston explaining that there is no off-season for hunters and outlining a 90-day training plan leading up to the hunting season.

Backcountry Hunting Fitness Assessment

Preston emphasized the importance of objective data in assessing physical readiness for backcountry hunting, introducing a free mobility assessment tool and a comprehensive 25-test scoring system. He shared that hunters scoring in the 80-90 percentile on this system had higher success rates, consistently harvesting 4 out of 5 animals on public land. Joe provided information about a Mountain Physio 365 app with a 7-day trial and 30% discount, offering structured workouts tailored to hunting needs. Preston encouraged participants to use the assessment tool to evaluate their baseline fitness levels through tests like push-ups, step-ups, and ruck tests, which would help identify areas for improvement and reduce injury risk.

Elk Hunting Fitness Strategies

Preston discussed the importance of strength training for elk hunting, emphasizing sustainable exercises like band workouts and posterior chain strengthening. He highlighted the need for cardiovascular training and flexibility, particularly for bow hunters. Joe and Preston agreed that many people misunderstand what "strengthening" means for hunting, and emphasized the importance of tailored programs and proper technique. They also discussed the benefits of rowing and shoulder exercises for archery, and advised against carrying heavy packs during hunting trips.

Hip and Knee Pain Prevention

Preston and Joe discussed exercises to prevent and address hip and knee pain, emphasizing the importance of strengthening the glutes and posterior chain. They shared exercises like side planks, monster walks, and Bulgarian split squats, as well as hip-specific drills like fire hydrants and hurdle warm-ups. Preston highlighted that many knee issues stem from weak hip muscles. They also discussed the importance of proper form during lunges and step-ups to avoid knee compression and patellofemoral pain.

Back Strengthening Exercises for Hunters

Preston discussed exercises to strengthen the back and prevent injuries, focusing on deadlifts, payoff presses, and bridges. He emphasized the importance of proper form, particularly keeping the chest forward during deadlifts to engage the glutes rather than the back. Preston suggested starting with 30-50 pounds for deadlifts and recommended exercises like planks and reverse planks for core strength. They also stressed the need for sustainable, consistent workouts to maintain strength throughout the hunting season and prevent injuries.

High-Altitude Elk Hunting Preparation

The group discussed strategies for preparing for high-altitude elk hunting. Gilbert shared a humorous anecdote about using Walmart bags as a makeshift altitude training mask, while Preston provided medical advice about acclimatization and recommended high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to build lung efficiency. Joe explained how to implement HIIT workouts by simulating incline climbs and emphasized the importance of gradually increasing the number of repeats to improve recovery time at altitude. Jonathan suggested using altitude masks and incline training on treadmills, while noting that it typically takes about three days to fully acclimate to high altitudes.

Hunting Ruck Training Guidelines

The group discussed rucking techniques and weight recommendations for hunting. Joe advised packing a hunting pack with the weight of the items to be carried plus 5-10 pounds for training, and suggested wearing the pack during training to identify and resolve comfort issues. Preston recommended keeping pack weight under 35 pounds. Preston and Joes advised against overtraining close to the hunt or trying to "Catch Up", with Joe adding emphasis on proper hydration, nutrition, and sleep for recovery.

Customized Training for Hunters

Preston explained his two main training programs: a self-guided online workout program and a 90-day tailored training program with regular check-ins and assessments. He emphasized the importance of customized training for individuals with specific injuries, like Mike's neck and back issues, to prevent injuries and ensure safe progress. Preston also discussed the need for hunters to start training early, avoid overuse injuries, and maintain consistent practice with their equipment to be prepared for the hunt. The group discussed the frequency of training sessions, the importance of gradual progress, and the need to recognize and address potential failure points in hunting and training.

COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES!

ElkBros Coaching Tip

One of the greatest teachers of elk sounds are the elk themselves. YouTube has tons of videos with cows, calfs and bulls all communicating and they are a great resource.

However, when we are practicing and trying to reproduce those sounds, sometimes it’s hard to compare them because when we are calling, we are so close to the source of our calls, it’s just hard to know how close they sound.

Here’s a tip… use your cell phone’s recorder to compare apples to apples. Take your cell phone and place it on something, hit record, walk away 20 or 30 yards and then make your calls. Make them in different directions. Now you can compare your recordings to those of actual elk. Start with one sound and work to replicate the pitch, nuances, volume and length as much as possible. There is a LOT of benefit in this process. And there is no better teacher!

SHOOTING PREP
Very seldom, to almost never, will your shooting situation in the field be like shooting in your backyard or like at the archery or rifle range. The ground will be uneven, sloped, possibly loose with your target animal hardly ever on the same plane as you or with nothing between you and the target. When you are so fortunate, well that’s an easy. The rest, prepare for them as much as possible. And take pride in being able to take on any situation and make the shot!

BOWHUNTERS: Once you are dialed in at the range or in the backyard, start adding these with a small stable platform (multiples of different heights if possible) 1) Shoot while placing your shooting back foot on the platform. Try with the platform closer to your front foot, then further away. Then, if we said your front foot was west and your back foot east, try with the platform a little more northeast and then southeast. 2) Now do the same thing with the front foot. 3) Now shoot with both feet touching next to each other and then in an over-wide stance. 4) Whenever possible if you can find a way, work on shooting at upward and downward angles. Remember to keep your “T” in your shooting form. Do not raise or lower your shooting arm to achieve the angle. Instead, draw and get in form as if shooting straight ahead and bend at the waist to achieve the correct angle.

RIFLE HUNTERS: Again, after being dialed in, you need to practice like you will play as well. Practice shooting off-hand at 100 yards. If you have shooting sticks, shoot on them at the range. Practice shooting with them standing, on your butt, on one knee. Practice shooting prone off of your hunting pack with everything in it you hunt with. Locate more natural areas and practice with your weapon unloaded and your sticks again while standing, sitting, on one knee while on uneven ground situations. Slopes going up and down to each side. Slopes going up and down to your front and back. Practice getting set on different branches of a tree, on a rock or any kind of optional rest.

ADVENTURE CAMP HUNT POLICIES

The first and most important goal is ensuring the safety of both our campers and team members. The second is providing a next level memorable and educational hunt experience.

Alcoholic beverages are fine at the end of the day once back at camp for the evening or once your hunt is over. But for your safety and that of our team members, campers will not be allowed to participate in any hunting or shooting activities for the balance of the day after consuming alcohol. The use of illegal controlled substances on ElkBros Hunts is strictly prohibited and will end the hunt.

There is a safe way to handle both firearms & bows & arrows. We will review our safety standards prior to going into the field. Your coach/guide will teach and alert you if you are not handling either in the safest way. Please adhere to your coach’s / guide’s instructions, as they are there to make you a better hunter and your hunting experience both successful and safe.

ElkBros Adventures has a “blood and done” policy for ALL hunts. This means once a hunter draws blood on an animal, that animal belongs to that hunter for the remainder of the hunt.

Every effort will be made to recover the animal while the hunter is on the ranch with the help & instruction of the hunter’s coach/guide. This is all part of the learning process as well.

If the animal is not recovered, we do not allow Adventure campers to hunt for another animal. However, if you are on a coached hunt, the learning does not stop.  We continue to do the very same things in the woods to keep the education and outdoor experience going.

Along with education, skill development and an elevated hunt experience, our other main goals are to honor the hunt and to honor the animals we pursue.

We do this by preparing you, both prior to and at camp, to confidently deliver as quick and as ethical of a kill as possible. Added pressure in a simulated & controlled environment is a part of that training process.

Bowhunters and rifle hunters will have to demonstrate proficiency with their weapon prior to going into the field. We will check sight on rifles at 100 yards and bowhunters must be able to put one arrow in a 9” paper plate at 30 yards. If you struggle, we will coach you through it until you can achieve proficiency.

When it comes to other big game that you may hunt, we know that there are so many great options out there, both fixed blade and mechanicals. However, for us and on our hunts, we require that you use a fixed blade broadhead. 

One of our goals as elk hunting coaches is to raise your odds at success by identifying and eliminating possible failure points that we have encountered over our decades of elk hunting, both personally and as guides with hundreds of clients. With that said, we know that mechanicals can be a deadly combination on a lot of big game. However, we have experienced negative outcomes on elk and require that our Adventure Hunters use a fixed blade broadhead.

There are plenty of great broadheads out there and you may already have a favorite. But for those looking for a recommendation, we have had great successes with Tooth of the Arrow (4 blade ), Muzzy Trocar, Wasp Boss, Hammer & Havalon and have heard good things about the QAD Exodus. With all that said, find the broadhead that flies the best with your setup. If you have confidence in it, then you become that much more deadly!

Calling with Coach Joe Giglia
