Maybe its just me, but MT has the most complicated process to understand. We applied as a group for general elk . Is this saying we drew the combo general but did not draw an LE as we did not put in for one? I think we had an average somewhere between 1 & 2 pnts for the 4 of us.
Successful...
what an adventure, what a bull... these are the types of stories that make all the negative media, politics and other BS seem to just fade away. Thank you for sharing Randy!
I've never bowhunted in Grizzly country, I will at some point. Great read, but dang that stay will continue to remind me that I need to be mentally prepared for when I do make the venture
Good luck to all, I have a unit 51 first rifle tag as well. Its my first time in the unit, I have hunted 52 a couple of times including getting my first bull with a MZ there in 2014. I won't get a chance to scout, so will do it Big Fin style with cyberscouting, try to target 10 different spots...
Drive it, talk 1 or 2 people into going with you. Makes all the logistics easier, plus if you get an elk, you can get it back with minimal concerns.
I drove it from NC when I lived there. Get some audiobooks, makes the trip go by twice as fast.
I think this is a perfect DIY hunt. I went DIY in 2013 same unit, great hunt, was into the elk most days of the 8 days I hunted. Saw a couple of monsters, but there are a lot of good bulls that an archery hunter should be proud to take. I took the family to Sedona and Grand Canyon in August...
