Elk in Rut

Wow sounds like a time.I know its on my bucket list to hunt big elk.Whats your odds of getting drawn, do's the system suck like ours...lol....and not speaking from my own experiences, just feel bad for the guys who never did get drawn.

Getting an elk tag in Alberta is much easier than getting a moose tag in NB. there are lots of areas where you can just go buy a tag. no draw required. There are lots of area's where they are strictly on draw but you have a decent chance of getting an animal in a no-draw area with a little experience and local knowledge.

Alberta Elk is on my list for the near future...

Need to get off my arse and work out the logistics ...

Work day 21 tommorrow then off for 7 ....6 days elk and deer hunting near Hinton,AB....I bugled this morn from a hilltop near where I'll be hunting and had FOUR bulls scream back at me....I IS SO STOKED!!
......like a lil kid Christmas eve,bwaaahaha!!

Couldnt agree more,hunting rutting elk is just awesome,got my first bull last year and when he bugled back at me from 100yards literally made hair stand up on my neck,lol....wutarush!!!Dreamed of hunting rutting elk in Rockies for as long as I can remember(30+ years?),it was everything i dreamt it would be and more!
Elk,mule,WT,2 wt doe tags,cougar and bear tags in my pocket,promises to be an amazing week,cant wait!!

And yea,theres tons of non-draw elk zones in AB,either 3pt+ or 6pt+,all of the mountain zones (400s)are general if im not mistaken(?) and a good many of the Foothills zones(300s) and northern Boreal(500s)as well.

Where I hunt up north of Grande Prairie, in the Falher/Donnelly/Tangent area, elk is a general license(for bulls at least. I believe they have a draw for cows). They sure are fun to hunt.
