Thanks for all the help.

Mtn. Muley appreciate it.

Bobcat- thanks for your insight, looking in to it

Bearpaw - Appreciate you insight.  Hope to hear back from you and some others who hunt ID. It sounds like a good option to put in for a good draw tag there and get a guide.  I just need to know what my draw odds are with one shot, one year, one point.  There may be otc bull tags in CO or UT or NM, that wiht a good local guide can get us on a good bull..But I'm not sure, still trying to see what my best odds are with one shot at this and a budget that's not massive.

Guys, again.  Planning this hunt for 2015.  Can't spend over $5,000.  Looking for anywhere in the country we can get a bull tag and a VERY good opportunity at a good bull. Preferably in an area the elk are talking and we will need a guide.

Sleeping arrangements/food etc. are the very last priority. We're not paying for camp or a 5 star lodge, we're paying for knowledgeable guide who can call us in a good bull and get a shot. We can eat mtn. house and granola bars for a week.

Looking for just one tag and I would be there as support, extra caller, video guy whatever.

Also, we can't climb mountains, but can move around at a medium pace through medium terrain for 2-4 miles/day.

No high fence hunts but private property, ranched, public all sounds great.
