Woohoo, less worthless cow elk tags! 

[carpsniperg2]

So um what hunts are we putting in for old buddy old pal

I got to do some reading! I am for sure going to start playing the game more and putting in for more elk tags.

[Bean Counter]

Ok,.looks  like lots of new  cow tags in many of the units... Just a reduction in the Sept tags in one of the better trophy units... Nothing to see here folks, move along. These aren't the droids you're looking for.  Move along! 

[Bean Counter]

Well Carp how long are you willing to wait for? I talked to a few people in Unit 10 this year and 13 years was the  going wait. That is one of the top units, though. if you're willing to stoop down to a 300" bull there are lots.of.easier units to draw such as 4b or 6a.

[Bigshooter]

Was that 13 years for the archery tag?

[Bean Counter]

Yup

[lhrbull]

early rut hunt? archery

[Bean Counter]

Yup. Which is why I'm glad they cut the cow elk hunt for Unit 10 in Sept.

Late season (Nov) archery tags are much easier to come by.

How difficult is it to draw a branch or antlerless tag??

[Bigshooter]

How difficult is it to draw a branch or antlerless tag??

Depends on the weapon and the season.

Do some research for the elk hunts on this page:
http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/BonusPointProcess.shtml

Lots of good info there on draw odds by 2012 hunt number and number of bonus points

[WAcoueshunter]

Hmmm, well I have 13 elk points, meaning I will have 14 for the draw.  Choices, choices....   

Actually, I'm probably going to hold out another year or two so I can draw a Unit 9 tag.

[Bean Counter]

you have far more than my coworker who drew Unit 9 last year.

Dude arrowed a 360" bull..  That was the score with a broken tine!
