I struck out on a LE bull elk tag in my favorite unit.
Anyone get a tag? How many lucky folks on here are going elk hunting in Wyoming this year?

My nephew got his general tag. Coming up from Tehas. Ye Haa we're gonna kill a couple with sticks. I think I'm going to use my Saxon Selkirk recurve before I get to old to put it to draw. HAAAAAHA!!! At 71lb @ 28" it sure makes the old shoulders pop. For a while any way lol. Good luck to y'all that got tags. September will be here for you know it!! My favorite time of year.

9 preference points and we were denied. Wow, 9 points and still no tag. That's rough. Must be a really high demand unit. My favorite unit takes 6 pts now and with ppt creep will be 7 by the time I get there again. Think I will putting in for gen. I can go hunting 3 times on a gen tag in that time. Good luck cmcf, any bull with a bow is a great bull. Some are just a little greater than others.

Thanks rpmaten and I agree. Sorry you missed your tag. By LE Do you mean limited quota? = limited entry, just guessing. wisconsinteacher did you get my pm? First time will definitely be a trip to remember. Any information I can share, units,tactics, tips and tricks, I will be happy to do so. Just don't get to caught up in the more gear=better odds. I have friends that live here that kill them with .243 Are you hunting firearm or archery? I know several good areas in the eastern half of the state. Only area in the western part I have hunted was the Bridger wilderness, by Pinedale so not much help there.

Elk-o-holic I know what you mean. I lived in Arizona in the 70s-early 80s I got two tags in eight years, lottery only there. So I moved to where I can buy a tag over the counter ha ha. Now the only drawing I put in for is an exta cow-calf. Honestly elk hunting wasn't the only reason I moved but it WAS a huge part. Love the Rockies and thousands of miles of public land to romp and stomp in. Good luck everyone.

Cmcf, yes LE=limited entry. I only had 1 pt going in so wasn't too surprised. Had a great hunt in 2016.
BP Wolfer and elk-o-holic, best of luck to ya.
