Just a suggestion BUT, you might want to consider starting a new topic. doing so would get your topic looked at more as people would see you starting a new topic instead of responding to an old one they may already know about and might be curious to see what you want to know.

If you start your own topic, you can also pose a question for the title (let's people know you have a question) and you can include information specific to you (possible areas, type of weapon, etc.).

Who knows, somebody maybe able to point you in a good location/state with easy enough tags and a good chance at an elk since you're driving up from texas anyway.
