Hey Jack, I am thinking that for first time elk hunting that I should probly go with a outfitter. You said these guys have learned from experince and I know that untill I actually go I will never really know how it is. I dont want to sound like im saying that after one hunt Im goin to know everything but I will have an idea on what the hunting is like.
You were talking about deadlines coming up soon. How do I get information about getting a tag. Is tere a lottory or can you buy one? I know up here in maine that you can just get your deer and bear tag by buying but moose require a permit which you have to go through a lottry to get. I am still yet to get one.[:@]
Does anybody have ideas on what state and outfitter I should look into? I am not looking for a trophy only hunt but I wouldnt turn it down.

Basically whare is the best place to have a high chance of filling the tag and maby even getting a good sized bull.
