Hello all, I'm new to this board and elk hunting in general. (went to colorado when I was real young, really had no clue what was going on. lol)
My question(s) is.....I am wanting to go elk hunting in montana. I have a friend that just moved back to Missoula this summer. We would like to do an elk hunt and stay at his place. We are rifle and bow hunters so either would be fine. I see that you draw a general big game combo then put in for special draws.
-Do you have to specify a unit when putting in for a special draw?
-How do yo ufigure out the general units and special units? (Fish n Game Website confuses me)
-What areas for both special and general are most favorable to get a decent bull with reletively decent drawing odds? (We will obviously be DIY hunt)
-Are the units split up, some general for archry but not rifle?
I'm sure I will have many more ?s but this is a start.
Thanks in advance!!!
Chris
