AZ8 Report post Posted February 4, 2017 It's terrible. Can't concentrate at work. At home all I do is watch elk hunting vids on YouTube! Reviewing draw odds.....Keep going over my gear......you name it! haha Will 2017 break my 7 year drought? With my excitement, hope I'm not setting myself up for a huge disappointment! It's a sickness! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUG Report post Posted February 5, 2017 I hear ya.....I haven't got an elk for 4 years now. Only been putting in for bull since then. I want the early archery tag before I can't walk anymore! What unit you going for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ8 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 Haven't decided. I've got a couple units that should put me close. No guarantees, but I'm hopeful. Will fill out my app this week, so gotta make a decision! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattys281 Report post Posted February 5, 2017 I skipped it the last 2 years over time constraints, but the schedule looks good enough to where I could put in this year. With 6 points, I hope I draw an early tag, but will be happy with a 4th or 5rh choice late hunt too. If not, then its another trip to Nebraska, probably for archery antelope. Either way, I've got a good year ahead! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Pintail Report post Posted February 5, 2017 You'll never draw a late hunt with a 3,4 or 5th choice. It amazes me every year how few people know how the draw works. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted February 5, 2017 I've gotten a 23 archery cow Dec. hunt with my 5th choice before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted February 5, 2017 I've been over and over the info. Still can't decide what to do. Last year was a weird year because of the changed NR quota's and its tough to predict this year and I definitely want to hunt this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
