Do you have any idea where you might go? The reason I ask is that about the only states with OTC tags for Rocky Mountain elk are CO and ID (some areas and they are already for sale first come first served). Montana has had leftovers the last few years after they dropped their outfitter sponsored tags and raised their license fees that are close to $1000 for an elk tag. All the other states either need a number of preference points to draw a tag or you would need to buy a landowner tag in some of the states that offer that (UT, CO, and NM to name a few) and they are expensive! I would strongly suggest you get on it and do your homework right away because it's getting so you need to plan a year or more ahead on a lot of the western hunts to get a decent tag.
