Well Flinch, you got along way to go to figure out just why you are hunting. If it's just to kill something, why not just go buy an old cow, or bull, turn it lose in your back yard and shoot it. All my hunting is done on public land. For at least the last 15 years, I have shot an elk every year, sometimes two, some where bulls, some where cows.This isn't to brag, just to show some folks that you can hunt elk, take home some meat from the freezer and have fun.
