Online Elk Hunting Foundations Course

What’s Included With Your Purchase

The Online Course is a self-paced training program designed to prepare new and developing elk hunters before they ever step into the mountains.

You’ll learn how experienced wilderness guides plan, think, and make decisions — so your first season starts with preparation instead of guesswork.

This course builds the knowledge and systems required before participating in the Field Intensive or hunting independently.

What’s Included With Your Purchase

The Field Intensive is a 4-Day / 3-Night backcountry spike camp training experience designed to turn online learning into real-world skill, judgment, and confidence.

This is hands-on instruction in real elk country — not a guided hunt and no animals are harvested during training.
