[QUOTE="bkondeff, post: 1042581, member: 10444"] I live in Idaho, but have also been researching pretty religously in Wy as a NR. First question, do you want to only hunt Bulls, or are cows okay? If cows are fine, then Wy is the place. Based on your handle, I would guess that Wy is closer than ID. They have plenty of good Antlerless cow hunts to apply for, which are full price, but have many of the same units avail through their Reduced Price Cow/Calf hunts, of which many have leftover tags available as well. These can be had for $288. This is CHEAP, and many have 30%-50% success. Be careful for units there with little accessible public land. Idaho is great for someone who wants to buy an OTC tag if you have not drawn elsewhere and want a place that has a lot of elk, but unfortunately likely a lot of hunters as well. You can hunt the same places every year if you don't draw a solid tag elsewhere. I have little familiarity with Colo, but I hear they have plenty of tags, many don't need to be drawn, and of course they have the most elk of any state, so there is probably a bull option there as well.
