Free: Contests & Raffles.
I love that country out there and have applied for this tag before. Big steep and gnarly! There are elk but it is also limited in the land you can hunt. Benefit is there is only 1 tag for ML, downside, there is only 1 tag, extremely hard to get. I wouldn't recommend this tag for anyone who hasn't been there and/or wouldn't be willing to do quite a bit of planning/scouting to hunt it. It's a long ways from nowhere and not easy to make a bunch of trips for scouting purposes.

There are some awesome muzzy elk tags if you know where to look. As far as the GR Bull tag, that's my back yard and I don't put in for it. If you are getting shoulder surgery I would rule it out. Tough going country for sure, and the access is poor. It would be lucky to catch a bull on the minimal public land over there and all the private gets almost zero hunting pressure. Your bull points are best used somewhere else.
