Do you know what zone his hunt is in?This doesn't answer any of your questions but my uncle drew one of the bull rifle tags this year. He had been applying for 6 years. He is a resident of PA.
Zone 3Do you know what zone his hunt is in?
no thanks...I'm not into hunting "tourist elk". I never even apply here
Go west!
I drew a bull tag in 04, DIY resulted in a 407" 7x7. And don't buy into them being tame, My bull came from a remote area. Old unit 9, which I would guess is approx. 50sq miles with very few roads through it.
Have to play to win, odds are not very good of drawing.
My bull was 11.5 years old and not fit to eat. I have killed bulls out west that were much better table fair. But I was not hunting here in PA for meat..
A good part of why I hunt is the mountain experience. The ruggedness. The fact that, even in fairly pressured areas, you can still spend the day and not see a single person. I think it's a special thing. I live in the area I hunt. But I just never go out that deep in the woods any other time of year...I should.An Elk hunt here in PA compared to a hunt out west are way different. Sure we got beautiful fall colors here but nothing compares to the adventure and remoteness of the west. Yes we have some “remote” areas but walk a couple miles in any direction and your on a paved road. The same can’t be said for out west. At least where I hunted. There are some giants here in PA. Bigger than in majority of the western states. The odds of drawing a tag though are worse than the odds of drawing a sheep tag in the west. If you get drawn, better save enough $$$ for your taxidermy bill though cuz you’ll need it. Good luck if you choose to apply in 2021.
Nice bull. What zone was he hunting in?I almost forgot about this thread. My uncle did shoot his elk. I cropped him out. View attachment 254583
