RE: DIY Mule and/or Elk out West
You got off to a good start. Like Mulie said, any of the states can be rewarding. A good hunt starts by preparing and leg work on the phone with the g & f, and biolgists to find an area you will like. If you get an area you will enjoy the rest pretty much falls into place. You better get on the ball and figure out what you want if your thinking this year. Draws are coming up soon for many of the states, if not already past due in some of the states.
I too just learned about the bear and lion that can be tagged with an Idaho deer tag. Never knew that until it was too late, actually seen a lion middle of the day this year while in idaho within range.....Goes to show should read the reg's completely before going out in the field.
