We hunt 3rd season in a different unit and I almost always draw for a cow and buy OTC bull tag. Like everyone else id suggest a cow tag if you can only have one but the years I've had one the other has a way of showing up, once within 40 yards of the parked truck. This year I passed a small cow opening morning and didn't get an elk. If I hadn't zigged when I should have zagged it would have been better, my hunting partner saw 5 bulls in the meadow I said that id hunt on the last day......naturally I went somewhere else...... some years are that way, some years they walk right up to you.
