MikenSoCo, I've hunted in districts 103, 104 and some in 100 mostly around Libby. Az is more knowlegable about the area than I am for sure. I believe he's right about the number of elk to be seen. They're there, but not in large numbers and they're hard to find. Last year I saw 17 head in two weeks of hunting. 16 of them should still be there. I never had any luck when it came to any special drawings for cows. I hunt there with some friends that live there, so it makes it a pleasant hunt for me, but for you to get the most bang for your buck you could do better elsewhere. Still it can't be all that bad, I plan on going back!
