So I am not sure what to do and I only have 5 days to decide with out anytime to scout prior to deadline line to buy tags!!! Here is the story. So I put my 12 year old son (whom like his dad breathes for hunting)in for the youth mentored tag for 44 both deer and elk as did my hunting partner and I. We all decided to put in singles for better odds of drawing. As luck would have it my hunting partner and I both got drawn for deer and he got drawn for elk. We were all pretty excited until I realized I needed a tag for the "SAME SPECIES" in the same unit in order to utilize the youth mentored program. So after calling IDFG, they said I can buy an out of state spike only bow tag and go with him which is pretty spendy for hunting a spike elk and the other issue is trying to find him an elk at the same time as I am trying to find myself a deer. I have never hunted the unit but have been in it and around it alot. I really don't know what to expect for elk. Is it worth it? What would you do?
