As a resident who has hunted here forever I know where the elk tend to be . Therefore I always go for the 1st hunt ( drawing ) ... Far less hunters & none of the elk have been shot . More elk still in the field. This is my "A" hunt , bull. I then take a "B" tag cow late season . The 2nd over the counter hunt has hunters behind every bush. Hunt a season or two & learn an area , then hunt the first hunt. It may be only 5 days but can be more productive than the far more crowed second season.
