Rocky Mountain Elk

Hunting elk in Texas offers a unique alternative to the typical western mountain hunts most people associate with the species. Elk in Texas often roam the thick, cedar-covered hills, where long glassing sessions and careful stalking are essential. Seasons and regulations differ from traditional native-game hunts since elk are classified as exotics, giving hunters more flexibility in timing and methods. Starting in late August, their bugles can be heard echoing down the arroyos, and this continues into early October.
