My son and I drew the only non resident archery tags for units 42-47-59. I got the first archery season and he got the second. There were only 10 tags per season. We felt like we won the lottery. Or we were the only ones to apply. Looking for any ideas ,which unit is best, places to stay, someone to join us etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated. It's his first elk hunt. We will probably come out from about Sept 6th to the 23rd

Lots of private land in those three units. My suggestion to to make sure you access to public land or get real friendly with a landowner. I never hunted that area due to being a resident and other areas with much more public land. Good luck.

I also drew a unit 42 tag. But it's for deer with a muzzy. I plan on hitting Sabinoso Wilderness. It's huge but only has one entrance to the entire property. Should make a tough hunt even tougher lol. Good luck!

You guys will be set if u can secure some private. There are some good ones but I fear it could be tuff to find one on state land

Tough to find a landowner to buddy up to as well. Unless you're ready to work it over $$$

So now that you have 0 chance of ever drawing this tag again as a NR let’s hear how the hunt went.
