Dan, the guy I used to work for hunted New Mexico, but he didn't draw his tag. He said for $1000 extra he got a tag from the outfitter? Doesthat make sense?

I have never elk hunted but every thing I have read is in agreement with what Mechdoc has said.I have a couple of friends that apply in Arizona every year and have gone many years without drawing.

I'd say NM.. I have been putting in for AZ3 years when I lived there and4 since I've lived in IL.. Have not been drawn yet, will continue to try but for a good chance at a good bull with your bow I'd say NM.. Big numbers in CO but lots of pressure from what I hear..

The only reason I'm straying away from the northern states is beacuse I have been hearing that wolves and grizzlies are doing a number on the population.

I know guys that have Elk hunted 4 times as much as I have and haven't had half the success.

Last year, me and two buddies drew tags in Wyoming. Everyone killed an elk, we called in (I think) 22 different bulls. It was at least 20. Colorado has more people and tagsthan any state, but I'm a big fan of Wyoming and Montana... I wouldn't hesitate to go to New Mexico either.

I have watched groups go to CO Elk hunting from here local for the last 10-12 years and I have not seen anything that impressed me.
Last year 5 guys went and they killed a little raghorn.
Maybe these guys don't know what the heck they are doing?[&:]but you think they'd be learning something if that was the problem
