If my mom hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have gotten mine in. Last year was my first trip out there to hunt elk and I didn't know I was going in time to put in for the draw. Those OTC tags are expensive for out-of-staters. Mom put in for her antelope and thinks she may finally get it. Now all I have to do is be patient and hope I get drawn...I don't want to cough up $500 for a bull tag if I can help it. Good luck!
