I got the big game combo mainly because it has such a better chance of being drawn it was worth the $300 extra over the deer only license.
I'm going to apply for a special elk district license in the Missouri breaks and if I get it then I will go elk hunting also, but I don't think I will even go elk hunting otherwise. Even when I was a Montana resident we didn't have much luck hunting elk in the western part of the state, of course we didn't really know what we were doing either. Pretty much just blindly walking around in the woods hoping to stumble on some elk!
