RE: Elk Tag Lotteries
You might as well apply etc...
If you wait until you're ready to go ona guided hunt, you may never go...
Last year my dad and I weren't planning on going elk hunting, but we drew great tags our frist year applying and went, and it was awesome.
This year, he drew a once in a lifetime buffalo tag, again, wasn't planning that hunt, did plan to be antelope hunting, but didn't draw a tag we thought we were assured to draw, but ended up with a surprise.
So apply, won't hurt you to build points, and when you draw a tag, you'll end up forcing yourself to go, that or eating a Non-res elk tag, which not sure many of us would want to do.
