Hunt a crappy unit or stay home

[williaada]

Wanted to get peoples thoughts on going on a late season cow elk hunt DYI or wait a year and go for a better unit? Should note I drew one of the tags I had hoped for just want to chase elk while I can

Hunt while you're able.

As an extra hunt - do it. As an only hunt, pass…. unless you are simply needing to fill the freezer. Whitetails are good for that if needed too.

I am more and more committed to only doing hunts that are going to be a fun more than frustrating experience from now on. Accordingly, I am sending back a lesser tier bull tag in CO and jumping with excitement for an antelope / fishing trip to WY this fall.

Have yet to kill a elk from my couch

A bad day of hunting is better than your best day at work. That’s what my dad always says.

Hunt it. And then hunt it again the next year .

 

[BackofBeyond]

The answer is always go hunting.

Hunt and learn. If you can drop a elk in a crap unit, you’ve learned something.

 

[Dsnow9]

Wait, there are good units that people build points for??? I have been doing this all wrong!

 

[Adamhuntingstuff]

I second all of the other opinions here... Hunt. Always a ton to learn in a new unit, especially a crappy one.

Late season cow elk ?!?!? Absolutely !! That’s my favorite hunt !!

 

[hank4elk]

I have never had a crappy elk hunt. I've crapped a couple.

Life is to short and passes us by to quickly. Go and hunt every chance you can.

 

[mevertsen]

Why did you apply in the first place?

Hunt it.

 

[Pahoundsman]

Always hunt.

 

[wytex]

Depends, is there access for your cow hunt? If it's the crappy area I know then no I would not without access lined up.
But , elk wander far and wide late season looking for refuge. You might just get intio them, can't do that at home.

You can’t kill them while sitting on the couch. Happy hunting, TheGrayRider.

Chase elk, good health can escape us in the blink of an eye. Hunt now while you can.
