RE: elk hunters
Try NM. We have some of the best Elk Hunting around. You will need to put in for a draw hunt. Or use one of the thousand guid services located here. I think it is to late to put in for Arizona. No matter what you do, shure hope your in shape. Their tends to be alot of walking involved.
Good Luck.

RE: elk hunters
270 win., you should probably post this question on the big game forum. You'd probably get more responses there since that's what we talk about there.
Power, what are the powers that be thinking with a plan like that?
That goes against every single game management program I have ever heard of. Why in the world would a wildlife department want to kill the bulls off before they reach maturity? Here we have a 4 point minimum in most of the GMU's. It keeps the young bulls protected and allows them to grow up and breed.
I think you guys need to get some new people to run the show around there.

RE: elk hunters
Coming from another Ky hillbilly, I'll have to agree with ya. Its ashame that our DNR has put all of this money into restoring our elk population and then Va goes and has an open season on them. It just don't seem fair. No offense intended toward you 270win.
