    First time elk hunt 3-5 year time line?

    I have put the 3-5 year timeline in place because I will be getting married in September. As I said before, I will probably think about a late season cow elk hunt for the first time. Presently, I have not decided yet between public or private land. Keith

    First time elk hunt 3-5 year time line?

    I have never hunted elk before. I am looking at a 3-5 year time line before this comes to fruition. With that outlook, what states or management units should be at the top of my list for accruing preference points. I appreciate any and all suggestions! Keith
