I love how a bunch of jackasses tried to tell everyone that it was anything other than 2-4%, like I already said. Those guys are idiots with their panties misalligned.

The DIY public land success rate is tiny. That's a FACT. If armed hiking with no elk in sight appeals to you, by all means buy a tag and give it a try. If you want a horseback ride in the wilderness and a hard hunt after less than ideal elk, a outfitted hunt on public land may give you that. If you want your pick of trophy elk, a trespass fee or guided hunt on private/tribal land (which implicitly includes a trespass fee) will give you that.

Pay to play, or take your rifle for a walk. Your choice laugh


Sometime when you are not patty yourself,get a copy of CPW allocted tags and see how many tags say private land only vs how many are public land.Up until two years ago when health started to fail me. I did 95-110% success for many years,every year. You haven't a clue that is for sure and the only jackass I see is your braying which is rather hilarious as your sign is is Llama _Bob. Kinda tells the story right there.

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
