Elk & Deer Hunt Permits

[rainbowlunker]

Thanks for your help, it actually makes more sense now. For a weapon, I would like to use a rifle. As for area, I am not really sure. I would like to stay in the northern section of the state (closer to home) but would be willing to go elsewhere if I had a better chance to get one. I like your advice on applying for limited entry and general, that seems like a good way to go. I would like to apply for a limited entry elk permit and then general season "spike bull". I am not sure what limited entry areas are good. Which area should I apply for? If it takes several years to draw, thats fine, it will allow my three boys to grow older and enjoy the hunt more. With a general "spike bull" permit, can I hunt in any "spike bull" area or does the permit specify the unit? Should I go with the "any bull" in order to stay in the northern section of the state?
