With you being an out of state hunter, I'd go with the state wide elk tag. If you wanted to hunt this year, you'd have to call their # and see when the left over tags will be available. Im hunting near Meeker, thats supposed to be a great area for elk. We used to hunt near Colo/wyo mine area for elk when i was a wee lad and that was excellent for elk.
