I say go to Arizona. Hunting out here in Oregon for Roosevelt elk can be tuff. Mostly due to so much cover for them to hide in. I have had 5 bulls within 100 yards of me during archery season in the rut, but never seen any of them. In more open areas it allows you to hopefully choose which one you want to shoot by doing a lot of scouting and then putting the stalk on them. Here you tend to stalk them to find out what they are.
