I consistently draw elk tags in 3 different states. I WANT TO HUNT, i could care about big bulls, big, bucks or other "big" animals, I just want to hunt. So if you want to draw a tag and hunt, put in for cow tags, spike tags, late season opportunities. It's not about the size of the animal it's about HUNTING. There are numerous outlets online as well as on F&G websites that show you draw percentages, success ratios, and the like using them is easy, even for a computer idiot as myself.
