Thank you, but as an Idaho resident I'm deer and elk hunting for less than a hundred bucks.
Thanks for the offer though.
What is the hardest big game tag that you were able draw?

I've never tried for a tag for anything from any state and it's because of what I've been reading here. My frustration would boil over so to save myself that grief and money I just won't do it. I've decided that if I want the thrill to go to Africa on a plains game hunt, which ive done. There, the outfitter does everything for you and the odds are virtually 100% and often less than a U S. hunt for just one animal. If you do it, plan on going again.

In 2004 I drew a Moose tag in the area that I live in!
I hunted hard for a month riding my mountain bike on the logging roads
Saw more elk than Moose,so opening day of general season I went into the moose terrain figuring to take what ever comes first!
Little fresh snow that day,cut Moose tracks caught him in 30min.
He was about 30" with one side deformed.
I let him walk
Next day I hit elk tracks out feeding in an old clear cut ,took an old road to try to get above them.
Came around a corner and a 43" bull laying on knob below the road.the rest is history!

PA Elk tag...18 years and my son 20 years for his...the wait was worth it...
I've only ever gone on a tag hunt once in Wyoming. I drew an antelope tag as an out-of-state hunter on my first attempt. I keep buying preference points, but have not done one since.
