2009 LE Bull Elk Client Joel Carters Testimonial Of High Top Outfitters Services:

I have been very frustrated with the draw for a number of years, and was really mad when my brother drew a tag in 2008 for LE Elk, the very tag I had been trying to draw for so long.
I went along with my brother on that hunting trip along with the guides at High Top Outfitters and liked what I saw.

I started talking to Shane about the hunts and the draw and he gave me some really good advice on how to draw the tag I wanted and what the odds were of drawing that tag. I also talked with Jay Simon and Rex Scott and they thought it would be a great hunt for me.

I finally drew my LE Elk tag in 2009 for the Mount Dutton late hunt with 11 points and alot of sleepless nights.

Shane was great about keeping in touch with me about spotting bulls all spring and how great they looked, he helped me with bullet information and put the finishing touches on the ballistics for me. When the hunts started in August he would text me pictures of some of the elk they were taking in the area. They looked really good to me.

I left home the Thursday afternoon before the hunt started so I could get the best place to camp. Shane came on Friday and we spent that day spotting elk, we saw 25 bulls in a meadow fighting and went back to camp for a sleepless night before the opening day.

We hunted for 3 days and saw a lot of Elk, just not that perfect one. Finally on the 4th day, I found the Elk that was mine, they put me in the right place at the right time and the rest is history. Thanks to Shane and Jay. Thanks to the guides, they made me feel like family. Thanks to my brother Mike for assisting with spotting.

Lot of thanks to Guide Bridger Dain for the horses on the rugged mountain. I hope to get to do it again with High Top Outfitters.
