I was drawn this year for cow elk tag in zone 5. Im also one of the 15 going back. It was not easy. I thought a herd we were watching would stay in the area weekend pior, It was like the cow elk disapperead. I hunted all over zone 5 and parts of zone 1. I seen many bulls. Sure I did my homework before hand. I was in the right area. Spent time talking to guides, landowner and wardens. I cannot afford a guide. Got married and bought a home this year. Never expected to get drawn for the tag. I would take any help, advice or cow sightings.
