for elk, look at wyoming areas 38 and 39. it isnt a sure thing with the tag, but if ya go party, then either both of ya would go or neither. lots of elk, ya could easily do it yourself. pretty country too.
ya know, another fairly cost effective hunt that a buddy of mine and i are planning is sitka blacktails and blackbears in southern alaska, the abc islands area. drivable from here, there is like a four buck/one bear limit. i think were gonna do it, it sounds like a lot of fun
hope this helps
