What I'd really like to get is a bull tag for PA. There are some real B&C whoppers roaming our north central mountains.

Yes there are for sure. But i dont even consider that hunting myself.

You don't! Why not. They are wild animals. Not like they are in a high fence. Yeah there are people around and some are used to them. But there are still areas where they react to humans the way they do anywhere else.
I've been on 3 elk hunts already and never saw anything I wanted to release an arrow or drop the hammer on. I just never tried CO. I keep trying for WY and I've been to ID and MT for them.

The public land experience in Colorado has been really great for me. No guides, and figuring it all out on your own. I have never applied for that Elk tag. Or maybe i did once when it first started but i havent since. But its a great opportunity for someone who could really use the meat for sure.

Gotta agree with Tom and Pete on this one Clem. I too was around those elk many times and could dang near walk up and pet every one I saw. Give them about 5 more years of being hunted seriously and they will start to be how they are supposed to be. As of now, they are still just too acclimated to human interactions.
