Looking for someone familiar with this tag or someone who has drawn it in the past.
Please PM me if you are willing to chat.
Thanks,
Joe

Finding someone on this site that’s had that tag may be tough.

My dad lucked out and drew the November buck tag in there a few years ago. We never laid eyes on an elk, but saw 90% of the elk sign on the south end of the unit. Fairly thick with pinyons and junipers but that time of year you could call them. I'd imagine the odds are slim to draw that one!

Not a tag I’d make real solid plans on drawing.im down there quit a bit. What do you want to know?

theleo · « **Reply #4 on:** March 07, 2019, 09:25:38 AM »

4 non-residents have drawn that tag since 2000. If you're set on applying for it I'd worry about getting the tag first and then asking questions. Honestly I've not seen much of an advantage in the trophy tags unless you're sitting on a bull and want the absolute first chance at taking a shot at him with a rifle. Applying for the oct 15th- nov 24th tag would be a better choice IMO.

You guys should send him a PM like he asked, and you'd find out why he's asking.

bearpaw · « **Reply #6 on:** March 07, 2019, 01:25:10 PM »

One of my guides has guided quite a bit in that unit, he says there are real good bulls.

Karl Blanchard · « **Reply #7 on:** March 07, 2019, 01:54:22 PM »

Friend of mine's inlaws are one of the largest landowners in the owyhee's. It's not Arizona but man there are some cranker bulls to be had.

grade-creek-rd · « **Reply #8 on:** March 07, 2019, 03:47:09 PM »

Elkh8me is asking for a reason...if you have any actual info on the area and the elk, please PM him...he's a good guy and has helped many people on here and in the field but he isn't one to brag. I'm excited to hear the details on a "future" hunt, good luck Joe!

Sounds like a super tag winner or the like? Why keep it quiet??

Or maybe he paid a big “trespass” fee and somebody transferred a LAP tag to him. I hate to speculate but even living within 45 minutes of the area I don’t spend any time trying to learn the elk there because I know the reality is even as a resident I likely won’t ever draw a tag down that way

Disabled veteran, terminally ill, landowner, limited entry. Few of those HAVE been drawn already.

Disabled veteran, terminally ill, landowner, limited entry. Few of those HAVE been drawn already.

-Disabled vet applications closed on Jan 31 - 3 Resident and 1 NR are drawn per year assuming eligible apps are received
-There is no application period for child with life threatening medical condition - a form is submitted by qualifying organization and child
-Landowner (LAP) tags are drawn after the regular draw - usually July/August
-SuperHunt tags from the raffle are drawn in June and August
-Outfitter allocation tags are available to those who hire outfitters - appears IDFG is going to allocate 1 tag to 40-1 sep elk hunt this year, but it is not official yet - that drawing is concurrent with the normal draw dates

Those are all the ways I'm aware one could end up with a 40-1 bull tag. Based on timing - it sounds like the OP may have a connection to disabled vet tag program.

trophyhunt · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2019, 11:13:39 PM »

So the only tag he could have is a disabled veteran tag? If that is the case, imagine the help you should get. Either way, good luck on your hunt.

Im excited for him. Ive been dieing to spend some quality time down there for mule deer. I hope he gets the info he needs.

Well if you come on here and get all secretive it’s gonna make people ask questions, if he got one of the disabled vet program tags then congrats to the guy otherwise there is no legit reason for him to have a tag yet this year

Exactly.

Even though to some he came on here and was so secretive

lord grizzly · « **Reply #24 on:** March 09, 2019, 02:34:33 PM »

Well if he’s already got an inside track on a tag ( likely a land owner I’m guessing) probably doesn’t actually need much help so the threads a bit odd to begin with.

I know of some smokers down there. Buddy of mine killed a 380 6x6 a few years ago on a LO tag. Units it’s not what it used to be for mule deer but it’s still a top elk unit for sure.dont waste the opportunity. Unless you really got a sweet in to the unlit it’s about like an OIL tag.

No outfitter tags for this time frame, no landowners tags, and no auction tags. Using a super tag or getting one from entering the normal draw is the only way to get your hand on a tag to hunt 40-1.

Or maybe he knows or is related to a landowner? I love the assumption he paid a BIG trespass fee. The csi analysts of Idaho hunting regulations explaining how or if he could draw a tag is also really helpful. If you have information on the actual hunt answer the question. I hope the op has gotten some useful pms

elkh8me · « **Reply #29 on:** December 20, 2019, 04:13:50 PM »

This was a fun hunt. Met some great folks and learned a few things. Also if someone draws this tag or gets a landowner tag

let me know and i would be happy to help.
Thanks,
Joe
