Just found out this morning that our party of 4 got drawn for the Elk/Deer combo tags with no preference points. We have a ranch in the southeast part of the state lined up for the mule deer hunt. My buddy that organized the party had hunted there three years ago and says that getting a mule deer should not be that difficult but holding out for something special might be a long shot. My questionis if we are lucky enough to tag out on deer in the first two days we will try to find some elk(we will have rental vehicles and one guy is driving out so we can relocate). Not having a clue about elk distribution from Broadus MTcan anyone give me just a general idea of where we should look for public access land that holds some elk or even private land that may charge a daily walk on fee. Thanks for your help.
