which would you rather hunt, modern or late archery?

My vote is late archery.

I quit modern (elk) and went to archery because of the (insert adjective of choice) ((((none of them members of this site))))) where I was hunting.  Love late archery.  Last year was 7 degrees when I climbed into my tree stand.  No mosquitos.  Woods are quiet.  Few hunters around to molest my hunt.  Don't need a cooler for the beer.     Easy to track elk in the fresh snow.  Love sitting around a camp fire when it's cold out. Etc., etc., etc.  Can't compare it to muzzy since I've never done that.  Don't want to try.  Am afraid I'd like it too much and I already spent enough $$ on archery.

I guess it all depends on if you have a honey hole to hunt archery and have scouted, I would do archery. If not matter what its going to be a new experience kind of hunt. Then you need to decide if you are happy with any elk, or if you want a bull. Two things to consider, 1. Archery, less hunters and lots of cows out there. 2. if you hunt modern, find escape routes and sit and wait, let the other hunters do the work. Many modern hunters spend way to much time road hunting and just pushing animals, take advantage of that.

Late archery is tough but fun. The only drawback is the amount of open units shrinks up to only a few.

I hunted a Modern season with a buddy of mine about 5 years ago so I won't be doing that again...

Muzzy you can hunt their early season with some rut action and their late season too which provides more units open to shooting bulls. If ur just after meat late archery whack a cow

Late archery. 
Pros: either cow or spike
Cons: less units, to much snow push cows to private, more difficult to get into elk areas, camping can be harder due to elements.
