The price is the killer.

The only cow I've ever seen there reminded me of a high % Brahman Brazos River bottom cow.

It never doesQuote:
From camp and on the topics it didn't look all that bad.
Yes, I have. I've read the gohunt.com descriptions/info, looked at ownership maps, success rates/unit, online comments, etc. The common remarks I've seen about the Plains Elk tag is that "it's a waste money", "most of the elk are on private", "there's not much public land", etc, etc.stdeb11 said:
Have you looked much at the public lands out in that area? Or know anyone that's done this successfully.
Asking as the concept has interested me, but looking at what public land is out there it's really checkerboarded. Been a while since I looked at a map for that area tho.

I've wasted more money on dumber stuff than this, and I'm only looking for 1 elk... cow, bull, yearling or calf... Straight up meat hunt. As I've come to realize, the average comments regarding public land hunting (which are usually negative) are made by the average average effort-givers, so that crap doesn't phase me.
I don't know anyone that's ever hunted on this tag. It seems like there aren't many. There are elk killed in every Plains unit every year, so if others are having success I reckon I can as well.
That deer miss really hurts (not to rub it in). I drew a tag with 1pp at 90% and never even considered the possibility of not drawing.arrow said:
I've now struck out on:
New Mexico Elk (65% draw odds)
Kentucky Elk (<1%)
Colorado Deer (90%)
Utah Everything (<5%)
I'm about to throw some points at Wyoming deer. It might be another OTC elk year for me.
YepQuote:
I have no interest in collecting many deer points in Colorado because I'm convinced there are giants in every unit.
