Gary Hubbell Quotations

The absolute worst way to hunt elk is off an ATV, ... There is something about the pitch of an ATV that's just wrong. They are much louder than an average passenger vehicle or 4-wheel-drive vehicle.

Bring an elk rifle on an elk hunt, ... A .270 (caliber) is not an adequate elk rifle. Of all the elk that my clients have shot and not recovered, most were hit in the vitals with a .270. The minimum caliber for elk is a .30-06.

Do not set up camp in the middle of the elk,

If you can't hike 30-45 minutes to get into elk, then you shouldn't be elk hunting,

These guys going off the trail, seeking to get deeper into the backcountry and being lazy about it, disturb elk habitat. It makes a miserable experience for everyone, ... Starting your hike in the dark is absurd, because you're chasing elk out. You want to be walking into elk country when you can see them in your scope. There's no need to start walking until a minimum of 15 minutes before you can shoot.
