Best State???

10 hunters = 10 different answers. Join the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and read their info and make a decision based on what best meets your needs. AZ, MT, NM, PA TN have long waits with higher success. In PA or somewhere like OK you can only draw a tag once in your lifetime but I know a guy who shot a 400+ bull with that 1 tag he got. I would rather hunt every year like I have in CO where I have had 5 elk in 7 years and 3 bulls. If you wanted to ensure you'd get a tag you could come to colorado but we have about 10% success rate partially due to the high number of tags and partially the 4 heelers effect in public lands. I personally witnessed 50 4 wheelers come up road last year neat Vail during the prime of the hunt (those hunters are included in the number for success).

I'd have to go with Montana. Excellent OTC Elk hunts!
