unit 32 vs 100 elk

coyoteslayer · Jan 28, 2015

Try to decide which of these units to put in for this year. I am a max point holder. Odds are pretty similar. I would like to concentrate on the archery hunt as much as possible. Looking for a 320+ bull, would rather call bulls then sit water. The fewer the people the better. Any suggestions would be great. I did notice that the success rate on 100 is better. I would rather hunt a bigger bull and not kill then shoot a raghorn. Could trade information of some elk units in Utah, especially Southern Utah, or a few other states like a little of Nev. or AZ. Thanks

LAST EDITED ON Jan-28-15 AT 02:23PM (MST)[p]You can't count on 100 for a 320+ bull, no way no how. Some get taken, some really big, but 100 is a good 240-300 elk unit. Archery in 100 really requires sitting a waterhole. 32 is a good hunt for up to a 320 bull and a good archery option, but like 100 you may have to look over a lot of 260-300 bulls to find a 320+. PM me with any specific questions.

His reply is spot on.

For what it's worth,

I put ALOT of study into 30/32/100/124

I ended up putting in for 32, Special , with max points.

If I draw, I'll be there from mid September to,,,,,,,
Well, What ever it takes....Wink ;-)

I heard one bull over 350 was killed on pine Mtn last year but everything I saw in that area was no bigger than 320. But I really only spent a couple days over there in September so probably not a fair assessment.
