Is it me or does everyone come from the east coast to hunt elk ? I guess the Oregon and Washington guys have good elk numbers to hunt but what about California ? We have all 3 species of elk but your looking at 15-20 yrs to pull a bull tag for a resident, I think a cow tag is more or less 5-10...
Howdy folks !
