Book your room at the hunting lodge at the Elkhorn Ranch early

I bought one of those tags last year when I was drawn for the early deer hunt. It overlapped and the plan was to finish deer hunting quick because 12a is easy to kill a big deer, then to try to find the elk. 

The plan didn't work so well. We got one decent deer quick, then busted tail for 6 days to find a dinky deer. By then my buddies knee was shot so we headed home without taking a real shot at finding the elk. 

If anyone is planning on hunting this elk hunt, PM me and I will give advice on what i learned.

Elkhorn ranch is in 36c, I stay at the Bed bug bordello in 35A. I always leave a little bit itchy though.

688 tags for an area with 50 head.  C'mon...  who can resist that opportunity.  Oh yea, it takes a whole day just to get there.  Yippee!

If they really wanted them all gone they would issue a free elk tag with every deer tag so you could hunt both while on the deer hunt.

Probably 8 to 10 yrs back if you had a deer tag you could buy a elk a Buffalo tag for $125.00 each. Last I heard the elk herd was about 19 elk. I've only seen tracks once 10 yrs back.. You no its all about the Benjamin's

They know they won't all sell out even at that price but if they did and achieved the 5% success rate that would only be 34 elk out of an expected 40-50.

The sad part is somebody actually put that hunt on their application and used points for it.
