The hard part about the late tags is scouting because any summer and even early fall scouting only really teaches you the lay of the land because the elk won't be where they were all summer and fall. It is still a good tag and big bulls are around, just have to catch them on public land unless you can gain some access.

Very weather dependent by then. Lots of the elk get pushed and moved around and end up on private property.

Thanks I appreciate the help!

If there is snow 90% of the elk will be on private property

I put in with a partner, both of us have 13 points and Not Selected! We though we were in for sure.
Good luck it can be a great hunt and a tough hunt.

Glen Berry posted pic of a public land bull that nobody would pass...... at least nobody I know.
(Same tag as yours)
You might search for that thread.

Just out of curiosity how many points did you have Sccrking11?

Tough tag to fill. Better start door knocking. Just another thread of people putting in for a unit they know nothing about. :dunno:good luck to you
I have hunted there before for archery... Saw a couple of 5x and 6x while I was out there. I'd admit I don't know the land that well, but again what are the odds of drawing in your first year applying...

Between my three sons and I, we've drawn 6-7 quality deer/elk tags and a moose tag.
I'd never set foot in most of the areas, but had GREAT hunts.
Heck, I LOVE drawing tags for places I've never been. It gives me a new place to scout/explore/hunt.
And I got terrific info from people on this site. I've made good friends and returned the favor to a few folks on here.
My son drew a goat tag for a place I've literally never been this year. Several people have offered help.
Do get a GPS with the property chip for this hunt. :tup:

Ignore the naysayers that think you should only put in for draw tags for units you know well.

Yea that's what I was thinking! There's something about scouting a new area and doing a lot of research that's exciting and I don't mind asking for the info. It's not like hunting season starts tomorrow, but the planning does... Good luck on the hunt!

wow. I had 11 points for the same tag and no dice. I was beginning to think they don't actually draw anybody for the tag. Good luck!Just out of curiosity how many points did you have Sccrking11?

Sorry for the late reply. I ended up leaving 2 days before it ended. The last day I was there it was so foggy I couldn't see anything. Only ran into wolf tracks. So I called it a season and went home. Was a great hunt saw lots of bulls. Biggest bull I saw was a big 10x10. Most bulls were on private ground. I got to chase quite a few on state and DNR land. With an archery tag it's tough. I saw one herd of about 100 cows that had 7 small bulls in it. But for cows that herd amd one small one of about 12 was all I saw. Met alot of great people. I want to thank Bert from teanaway ranch for all the help and Jim the owner of the Buffalo ranch. They were alot of help. Even though I didn't get anything I had a great time. Even got to see some nice bucks. The buck with the 5 in forked drop time was Probly the biggest one i saw. I have pics but I can't get them to download on here off my phone.Capture any pics of the 10x10?
