I did boycott it last fall, didn't want to hunt elk in MT last year anyway nor had any time to.
Honestly though if I hadn't hunted there before and didn't have a spot picked out now, to try to randomly DIY an elk in Mt for the 1st time for $950 or whatever, I would probably choose against it. But I feel like if I go again between the 2 of us, 1 of us should at least get a shot at a decent bull elk, if not both of us.
This winter sounds awfully mild so far... might be a decent fall for most of the west?
Remind us what the multiplier is for a non-resident, free range elk tag in Illinois???
