I would like to investigate the options for a cow elk hunt and have no idea where to start. I am interested in a meat hunt and cost is a factor. However I would prefer to spend a bit more to try to be successful rather than return home empty-handed.

Is there a place and time where cow tags are available and a clueless non-resident would have a decent chance to bag one?
