Tule Elk 2018

[sdnative13]

I realize the 2018 Elk season may be a long ways away but i am looking for input on where to put in for in 2018 to try and bag a tule elk. I am the type that likes to plan far in advance even if it means a few years. I would like to first find a unit that typically holds big bulls then continues to scout and research until drawn for the area. Any help or suggestions are welcomed.

How many points do you have ?

You may be scouting until you die unless you get very lucky or buy a auction or land owner tag

My suggestion: you'll have better luck if you drive to Colorado and buy an OTC tag.

I put in for cache creek this year because it had a little better odds with max points then a lot of the other units and I actually drew 1st alternate and got the tag.

When did the season open? It use to be Oct.15th.

With once-in-a-lifetime tags (Elk, Sheep, Antelope) if you don't have max points, then you have the equivalent of zero points. The best bet is putting in for a Share hunt or Fund raising tag. However, I do know someone with less than max points who got La Panza on random.
