[QUOTE="aOWENc, post: 1334600, member: 86255"] Hey guys, thought I would pick your brain about a dream I've had for awhile now. So I'm 18 years old and just went on my first western hunting trip last year and successfully harvested an antelope. I soon realized that this is a part of the country that I love and want to go back and hunt more game. I am enrolled at Indiana University and will be starting my freshman year on Monday. To put my hunt into perspective, I also just received a full ride scholarship so a hunt after my senior year would kinda be a celebration before entering the job market. I know that getting drawn for elk is significantly more difficult than Wyoming antelope so I will need to build up points, correct? I also would not be picky on what kind of elk i harvested for my first one, so a 400" bull isn't something that I'm going after unless the opportunity presents itself. I would be interested in any of the states that would allow me to get drawn, but I'm very fond of Montana. I also have a 6.5 CM, 300 wby, muzzleloader and bow, but I would mostly be interested in a rifle hunt. How difficult would a DIY public land hunt be, and how much would I be looking to spend if I did hire a guide. Or for a DIY hunt? Would you recommend starting to put in for the draw ASAP? Thank you!
