So after 22 years of applying for this tag, my name was finally drawn out of the hat in 2014. Absolutely could not believe my eyes when the drawing results were posted online!! It's something you begin to think will never happen. Although I live in Helena and look out my back window at the Elkhorns, I had never spent a lot of time in the district and only hunted there once or twice with my kids looking for cows. So, one of the first things I did was a google search for information on this district and I'll tell you what, there isn't a lot out there. It seems like talking about "trophy districts" brings out the worst in people for some reason and is maybe considered a bit taboo.
I certainly don't want to start a huge arguement or anything like that....I simply want to offer my assistance (for what it is worth) to anyone who has questions about the district.... whether it's worth applying for the tag, what is the hunting like, did I see big bulls, etc. etc. I am lucky to have a number of friends and colleagues who helped me tremendously with my hunt. I can't even begin to thank them enough. I understand that many who draw this tag don't have the same support group so I am willing to offer up as much assistance as I can to the next lucky hunter to draw the tag or those thinking about applying. I do not claim to know all there is about this district.....heck I only hunted there one season. There are many who know much more. However I am happy to provide whatever information I can....I think that's what these forums are for.
Anyone interested can send me a private message and I will try to respond as quickly as I can. Happy New Year to everyone on the Hunt Talk forums and may your name get drawn out of the hat in 2015!
