[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 866495, member: 11717"] You're very welcome. I'm a resident do-it-yourselfer and not all that familiar with non-resident options or other state's options. In Montana, a non-resident must enter a lottery. You get both an elk and deer tag. You can, last I checked, put in for a party tag meaning all or none which is what you would want. Outfitters used to be able to get a certain amount of non-resident tags to sell to their clients. I think they curtailed that somewhat if not all together. Not sure... they may still get some. I know a good outfitter but unfortunately his area is just North of Yellowstone and the wolves have almost wiped that herd out. It's been several years since I talked to him but that was very good country at one time and it was during the early season back country hunt when the bulls are in rut. There are still a lot of good places to hunt and I will PM you a couple of private land guided hunts. They might already be booked? I think you're best guaranteed state for getting tags is in Colorado. I think you can just purchase them without going through a draw. You need to start doing your homework. Sates I would recommend are Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and maybe Utah and New Mexico. Call each state's fish and game and ask them about tag availability, etc. Once you have decided on a state or states, call the wildlife biologists and fish and game for the best areas to hunt... then start looking at possible outfitters.
