Anymore I have just applied in WY for the last few years. I’ve seen more elk there than other states. Granted I have not hunted elk in Montana. Getting a tag in NM is unlikely to say the least and I quit trying. I used to hunt just West of Rocky Mountain National Park in CO but my hunting buddies there are no longer. I evidently lucked out and drew a tag in Idaho the first time I tried in 1978. Paying $700-$800 bucks for a license isn’t bad if you have a good chance at seeing elk. I’ve applied all my life in SD and so far drew one tag.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
