The draw tags are out and they leftover draw will happen in a while. Then the leftover tags left after that will go public. The DOW will answer all your questions by phone. You can also go to the web site and get a lot of info. Go to hunting, then big game.

Hope you can get the tags you want.
I am a bow hunter and hunt that time of year, every year. Skin and bone outthe meat and store in mesh bags. The nights are cool enough the meat will cool down. Depending how long you will be here, part or all of the season and when you kill an elk, take it to town and find someone with a meat locker to store it for you until you leave. It can still be 70 plus degrees during that season.
