May have elk left but they aren't done withbthe drawings. I plan to use my Combo in 2 units, but have access to a cabin in 270. So I put in for that permit as well. Still pending on that one. Was suprised the deer/elk combo sold out. Supposedly hasn't sold out in years. Wonder if quota was reduced due to the hard winter? Last edited by CBB; 04/19/17. Hunt...
