If you drew Multi-Season and just wanted your first branch?...

On average you will draw a multi season elk permit every eight years.

weird our camps got multi elk every other year

In 2014 there were 9,647 applications for 1,000 permits.

i know how much applied.   just stating that we have been drawn every other year

If you have a camp of 3-4 then you'd be proving the statistics

You didn't draw multi season this year, correct? You're asking what to do if you draw next year? If so, if you really want to kill a bull, put in for east side permits, archery or muzzleloader. There's really not much left on the west side worth applying for.

I disagree but will just disagree and not state my case.   

That's fine, it's just a matter of opinion. I do think there are some good permits on the west side, it's just that the odds of drawing are so low that you can't count on drawing them.

Ok that's true.

Thanks for all of the help guys, I am in a position where I may have a different job by hunting season next year. If not then I can probably manage a week in early archery and a week in early muzzy. I want to hunt muzzy and have put enough time and money into it that I cant justify switching weapon types right now. However I would love to get back out there for early archery season, its been a few years since I did archery and kind of miss it. And if I draw multi elk then I can justify doing archery deer (which I really want to do) but if I do muzzy elk and archery deer I just know I will see too many bulls during deer season that it will kill me, haha.
