Order of states to apply for archery elk in

[Colby3]

What is your order of states to apply for archery elk in based on application dates and draw results?

 

[OlderGobbler]

Is there a way to do it other than in the order that they open/close?

 

[CMF]

Gohunt and Huntin Fool have a pretty good list of open/close dates. States like WY will vary depending on whether you're applying or doing points only.
If you have onX, you have access to Huntin' Fool.

So do the respective state websites, and it’s even free!

Our plan is to apply for idaho first Dec 5-15. They say results should be around first of jan. If not successful then apply for WY by Jan 31. Draw results they say around May 22. Also we have till May 8 to withdraw if we want. We will apply for NM at the same time as WY. NM draw results around April 25. If successful in NM then we will withdraw in WY. Not sure what we will lose money wise by withdrawing in WY. If not successful in any of those then apply in Colorado or Montana by April 1.

You only lose the $15 app fee in WY.
