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,

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?

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.

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

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.

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

.......or maybe something completely different, but you guys sure to have it figured out

Lots of different ways to draw a tag in idaho folks.

Especially considering not a single draw for elk has been run yet this year
