Congratulations. I live in m6 . Will let u know if I see any bull moose

I would appreciate it man!

 

[NDGuy]

Congrats. Should be fun. My friend drew one of those units last year. He put a lot of time into it. He watched some pretty big bulls on locked up private and the park but finally got his chance on I think his 25th day of hunting on got a 390 ish bull. There are some giants there. Not sure of his unit though.

Your buddy Matt? I saw his bull if so and he was a tanker!

Yep. That’s him. He put in a lot of time for that bull. I know he did pass on a couple other good bulls along the way knowing that one was out there. Som big bull potential in ND as I’m sure you know. Good luck! Hope ya get a good one.

Congrats on the great news
I drew a bull tag in PA in 2002 it was just the second year of the modern era hunts . 14 bull tags issued 58000 apps. So yes it does happen. Enjoy it all before you know it will be done

Congrats on your tag!!! I drew my moose in 2005 and it was truly an awesome hunt.

 

[Pucky Freak]

Awesome - enjoy your hunt! I love that area

 

[NDGuy]

Awesome - enjoy your hunt! I love that area

It's a special place for sure. I just found I drew my MT deer tag too so hoping for a slam dunk fall!

 

[Duck-Slayer]

Congrats! I grew up in that country when there was no season yet. Hunted Antelope, Deer, and Turkeys in that country. Good luck!
Matt

Congratulations. Great to hear about long shot draw success.

 

[MNHunter]

Congrats! Please post your story as your hunt unfolds!

 

[Jbotto]

Congrats! This will be one to follow for sure! I spent two years in Watford and applied both years I was a resident there. I sometimes miss the beauty of that country!

Congrats!!!
My wife and I each drew out OIL elk tags in 2020 for E3/E4. We were looking for cows but saw some nice bulls too!! These pics are in E4.

I don't want to go to bed because I feel like I am dreaming.

I drew a highly coveted North Dakota OIL Any Elk tag....unit E4 which borders Teddy Roosevelt State Park. We have about 8k people apply for around 95 bull tags in units E3/E4 so odds are extremely slim. People put in for the big 3 draw their whole life without drawing so I want to do it justice! I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. I have from 9/3-12/31 to fill my tag so glad I saved all my vacation up to this point. Unit E4 opens up to unit E3 interchangeably after the first weekend. I can hunt with bow or gun as well.

Now the real preparation and work begins! I am going to give this everything I have, we have some beautiful country to hunt elk in and I never would have expected to get this tag let alone as my first elk hunting opportunity.

I have a solid plan laid out already but if anyone has any knowledge or advice please slide into those DMs!

I will update this thread with my hunt as we near showtime.

Cheers!

Also: My brother drew a ND Any-Moose tag in unit M6 as well. What a crazy day this has been for my circle, going to be a very busy fall.

You guys hit the jackpot!

I also drew the E3/E4 tag for any elk. I hunt out there a fair bit and have helped a coulple others find elk but now it's different. I am feeling the pressure! I am planning a couple scouting trips and have quite a bit of vacation saved up. This is gonna be fun!
