    I am very tempted to put in for a Mulie tag also. Elk will be an either sex tag and depending how hard the hunting is I may hold out for a bull............we'll see.

    Either sex elk tag. Will said something about lots of bears in this unit? I may apply for a bear tag..........last trip to Colorado I had opps for black bear but no tags.

    Is the either sex tag not MORE ($$)?

    Two things come to mind.....lol.

    1. Will brought us elk venison when he visited. THE BEST venison I ever tasted. Period. That's why I'm not going to be too particular on what I shoot (if given an opportunity). It's that good!

    2. Probably gonna laugh.....but....who's ever seen a COW elk mount?.....lol. You can bet your ass I'll have one if I shoot it!

    I don't snore Jeff! Well, maybe I do if I'm on drugs to kill the pain. Hunting in the cold with a busted up ankle was not fun.

    Hey and on a side note, I will be hunting OTC antelope beginning August 15th. If anyone wants to come early (let's say you're retired and have no place to be), then feel free. Goat tags are $250. I will spend the weekend before the 18th elk hunting and setting up the elk camp. Hell no I'm not going to wait for you guys!

    Jeff.

    I hunt for meat not bone, I have found over the years no matter how you cook antlers or how long you cook them they are still tough and taste like crap:D

    Russ:

    My guess is the bulls have more meat on them than the cows. BUT....like you, I'm an ELK "meat hunter"!

    (Actually.....I'm an equal opportunity arrow slinger. I will NOT be choosy)

    What really surprises me is that you have any furniture left in your house, the amount of times you leave the door open:p;):D
