[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2528886, member: 103317"] First off congrats on the tag. Elk hunting is so much fun. Heed the advice of others on this forum. Don't put a great deal of pressure on yourself and to high of expectations and ruin the hunt. Make sure you get there at least a couple of days in advance of the opener. Have a plan on where you plan to hunt in the area and start your scouting a couple days prior. Buy the best spotting scope you can afford as not will be your best friend in this type of hunting. I personally feel opening day is the best chance at a great bull especially when you are hunting out of state and only have so many days to hunt. The elk haven't been shot at and they are not so spooky. Understand that you are not Hunting on private property and so you may not be the only one spotting the bull you have located. If things go south on the first one, try again, sounds like there is no shortage of elk in this area. Enjoy the moment and the experience. Take a bull that makes you happy regardless of the score. I have taken many bulls over the years and my favorite is a 270" bull I shot with my bow. The experience was second to none. I have a 362" bull on the wall also just for reference. More importantly take someone with you to share the experience and all of the hard work of getting and elk out of the field. If you can't find someone to go along try to hire a local packer to get it out for you. Getting a bull elk out of the field is a big chore and if you have a bad back you may not be able to get it out by yourself. Just remember to enjoy the entire experience and best of luck. [/QUOTE]
