An out of state elk hunt costs me as much as a cheap annual lease down here, so I don't apply for the elk hunts much, none this year. One week, with loss of vacation time versus lots of weekends here for sure with multiple seasons, I pick the local hunting. I'll do an out of state hunt, assuming things go well, but not for elk this year.
What's the average number of days hunting till you get a bull elk? Lots of hunting, right?
CO forth season for elk and deer, and MT for the "big three"... Should draw both CO tags, and I won't draw the MT tags, but I can dream about doing it!
A-Con...got mine in the mail yesterday as well. Went back to the 1:bunch chance for elk (Grizzly Is.) and Likely tables #2 for speedgoats. For deer I went with Doyle muzzy, G-1, and X-3B (yeah that will happen as a third choice )
What do you think of them doing away with the 10-year wait? They said its because we now have the point system but I call B.S. I think that DFG is just lookng for lots of extra $$ from the past draw folks. If it was due to the preference points they could have done away with the wait two years ago.
Now with even MORE folks putting in good luck on that elk tag
