with every other animal I would agree with you..... Not the "heard bull being not as good as a small bull" but the if you get a draw shoot the medium bull...... FOR ME..... Rosie is the only "Trophy hunt" .. I shoot medium stuff all the time for meat. But them elk is 100% biggest bull I can find. If I ever get so lucky again I will not shoot anything smaller than a 315" 6X6 unless I'm packed up and driving home on the last day...
We all have different animals we would like to see on the wall... for me its them...
I'm with ya Buddy.
With 29 elk under my belt at this stage, I really want number 30 to be a HAMMER!
And I would absolutely LOVE it were that to be an Island Rosie!
Seen many a Gagger over the years here, but as we all know, getting the tag seems like an exercise in futility most of the time.
Nonetheless, I already put into the zone I would like. Sharp sticks of course.
And if I do manage to draw, I will be there a week early and right to the last possible second if that what it takes...
Cheers,
Nog

Sorry have really not looked into an LEH draw for elk but it is very appealing ! Are all the elk draws in region 1 and 2 archery only or is there a hunt to use a firearm . I'm not a bow man .
Thanks

Yes, there are Reg 1 LEH rifle elk hunts
Firstly, going to be differentiating between Elk Hunt and Draw. Hunt, for me, is Rocky Mountain Elk. Hike or horse with camping. Draw is 4:20 antlerless. Odds, thinking it's about 1:111 if I recall... Gauranteed great meat supply!
Arctic Lake,
There is only a few Bow only Zones in R1 By far the Majority is Rifle.... But Pay attention...... The Odds usually tell you. If the odds are great there is either an access issue or its a less than desired for other reasons.... I like to enter draws with odds around 70-80:1
Thanks for your replies fellas ! Always helpful members on here !
