Any elk is any elk in the unit I'm focusing on.  Might hunt another unit that is any bull but if a fat cow presents a shot she's going down.  Good luck everybody getting pumped for opener!

Any elk unit for me. I would love to say I will hold out for antlers but I know better. I will shoot a cow without hesitation.

In Idaho I usually go for a 6pt for the first week or so and then it's any elk for the remainder of the hunt. Washington is any legal elk unless I draw but that has not happened for 14 years or so now.

3 pt min and in some units antlerless.  I am on a quest for a monster purebred Rosie.  Have let lots of 5x5's walk.  Have had one that meets my criteria at full draw at 20 yds for over a minute.  It was a head on shot that I was not willing to take at the time.  Had him again at 35 yrds a few minutes later, but it was waning light and I would had to have threaded a needle.  I chose to let him walk.  He was a heavy horned hog.  Been on this quest since 2006.

May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Unicorn for me, my buddy drew a cow tag for the Colockum so I'll be concentrating on helping him be successful. I've shot one unicorn in my life, hoping a sasquatch will befriend me and point me in the right direction.

3pt or antlerless.  I probably won't shoot a cow but I will be shooting the first legal bull I encounter.  Archery elk in Western WA is hard.

Ideal situation is I get a bull mid-season.  That will give me good time in the woods, time to butcher it myself and time to get some coho fishing in after the butchering is done.

Can't wait.
I know I've lost it, let me know if you come across it
