Thinking about planning to hunt out of state next year for archery elk. I would like a DIY hunt in a state close like Montana, Oregon, Idaho. Probably looking at some sort of over the counter tag any input on how and where to start?

If you can hunt two continuos weeks pick idaho, or montana. I currently hunt idaho as my standby if I don't draw other states, but montana would be good ttoo because there is excellant draw tags. Oregon can be a lot more crowded, pick an area without wolves and you'll be fine. Southeast or island park is real good.

For a OTC tag..ID is hard to beat...best thing you can do is pick a area..then really get to know it..It may take a season or 2 for you to really figure it out and a little tweaking to where u hunt. Just hunting it you will gain a ton of knowledge and learn more and more everytime in.

Idaho is probably on top of the list.

ID panhandle has elk all over in it..hard to find area in the mts that are void of elk. Plus apply for LE tags, u may pull one. If quality is what you want, look into units that dont have a rifle season, but open to bow

I agree with huntnnw. But want to add that if you are in an area for a few days with no activity don't be afraid to go try another area. Make.sure to keep detailed notes of areas. I like.to use state atlas books to note about spots.

I don't want to thread jack, but I would like clarification on each state application process. I've only hunted out of state in OR and can provide insite on that cost/experience.
Oregon
In order to apply for a controlled hunt tag, you need to purchase a hunting license. Out of pocket expense $140.50 plus dealer fees just to apply. If you don't get drawn, your out that money, unless you want to purchase an OTC general tag
Is this similar structure for Idaho & Montana? I know some states have reimbursement programs if not drawn, just don;t know.

I hunted Idaho Elk for the first time last year. Just looked at success rates and maps. We were into elk our whole trip based upon the info i gathered. We did put in 8 solid days of nasty hiking though. We were also in a wolf area, saw 2 black ones. Elk would only return bugle if you were 100 yards or less from them.

I have hunted elk in Montana and will be hunting them in Oregon. We bought an OTC archery tag and also bought a point for next year. PM me with any questions.
