Meh pasture elk or bison don’t thrill me much.
However for $2200 for a cow elk, 3 hr drive, pretty much guaranteed, all in one day. Versus a lottery, take a week off from work, finding a place to hunt, no guarantees…. I ain’t getting any younger….

I drew a late season any bull tag in AZ. So yes I will be elk hunting this year. Those late hunts are fun, I've drawn 4 of them. Killed 3 six points and donated one tag to AZ hunt of a lifetime that went to a young lady with cancer. She killed a decent bull with the tag.

Been awhile now, but we have regular seasons, no draw.
Or you can put in for areas they control with an LEH draw, limited entry hunting.
But no need to do anything but buy a tag and have at her.

Elk are fun and they taste good, but I'm always a lot more excited for deer, antelope, upland, and waterfowl. They're a lot easier to carry out too.
