Did my first elk hunt this past year, man what a blast. Didn't see an elk lol, but still was an incredible experience. I wound up having 3 good friends go with me, none of which bought a tag. They were great partners, never complained about anything more than I was haha. We all helped a couple of guys pack an elk out one day. So we are getting deep in to planning the 2019 hunt now. Right now we have 7 people going, and 2 may jump in. Including myself, 2-3 of us will have elk tags, and 2-3 will have mule deer tags (I will not). We plan on splitting up every day in groups of 2-3 people, ideally each group has 1 elk tag holder and 1 mule deer tag holder. The others will be along just for the experience.
As I type that out I realize its a dumb thing to worry about. I'm lucky to have many solid friends!
