I'm surprised more people don't look into Elk hunting West Texas, free range Elk, no draw, no Elk lic. Required, only over the counter Texas Hunting lic. there's some good outfitters in that area, and no crowds, hunting private land, whats not to like?? I know it's not the Rocky Mountains, but it's rough as hell, with some steep mountains, Plus some places have free range Exotics and other critters you can hunt. Rio7
