MI cow Elk Tag

[Ben Lamb]

After 36 years of applying, I finally drew a mi bull tag this year. December hunt area x and I. I’ve been guiding elk hunts since I was 14 and now it’s my turn.

That's awesome. Congrats!

Think I have been applying that long also. My 18 points are from when they started giving points for unsuccessful draws. Before that there were no points given if you didn’t draw.

Good for you!!! Can’t wait to see the pics.

Congrats, these are a tag you can go your whole life without drawing.

Congrats!!! Once in a lifetime hunt. Have a couple friends that have done the hunt and it's not a gimme! Try to find a local (if you're not local) and do your scouting!

I live in the heart of michigans elk country and have been guiding elk for over 30 years. I think I have the scouting part covered. Fullquiver- if you want to pm me your contact info , I’ll help.

Congrats guys. I’m only a short drive from that elk country and I’m super jealous. I hope you both have great hunts!

Look into Canada Creek Ranch for guiding service If your looking into going that route. Ive never used them or hunted elk as of yet. But my understanding is their Guide Service is a good value and they have good elk on property. Ive been on property an there’s lots of sign. Was told they have about a herd of 100-150 on their property.

Good luck and congratulations.

Congratulation on drawing. I also drew a cow tag but mine was for the first hunt period. I was successful taking my cow on the 3 day of the hunt. Good luck it really is awesome to be able to hunt elk in Michigan.

 

[williaada]

Am I correct in thinking that most of the Michigan Elk are east of I 75?

Yes

Congratulations. What area did you harvest your cow. Did you use a guide.

I was in Hunt Area X. That was everything except the core area. Yes, I had a guide. Not sure about the rules of listing him on the forum if you PM me I will send you his name and number if your interested.

Congrats on the tags guys! I've spent a few years in that core area during deer muzzy season in December, if there is snow and you can follow tracks and don't mind hiking, you will find the elk. It's never a gimme, but I could have shot an elk pretty much every year I have hunted up there. Would love to get the December hunt if I ever draw. Cool area. Good luck on the hunts!

 

[Buckbrush]

I would take the savage 99.
My dad always loaned me his savage 99 in .308 so I have a soft spot for them. And it's a little bit different and a little bit faster on the follow up shot.
Not to many people hunting with them here in Utah that I see. Good luck only hunted MI once for white tail and only time I ever got one with a bow.

9 days to go….. I have a few good bulls picked out as I’ve been scouting since July. Most of my deer hunting this fall turned into elk scouting while casually looking at deer…
