The elk draw is pretty safe, there are only a few hundred in the whole state and if you get a draw in the area you want you are running up and down mountains and see very few other hunters. The key is to wear safe colors, keep in mind that a good portion of where I go the Elk are in the open but the shots are long generally you set up a base camp and trek out from there on foot. You might see a few hunters but I've never had anyone shoot at me. I have never hunted East of the Mississippi river. I stick to Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Texas and Canadian Rockies. Never would I ever do a hunt like that. I would however do a hunt like that if it was dogs and knives only, that is a thrill. But a bunch of drunk idiots running around shooting guns at hogs running every different way is far too dangerous.
I sighted in my Tikka 300 Win Mag yesterday Used Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 180 grn 3/4” MOA at 100 yds Still dead on at 200 yds Now if I can just draw an Elk tag Flights to Wyoming are super cheap now But CV is making things iffy and oil at $26 a barrell is hurting my bank account
