unit 47 elk

tufcntry · Jun 29, 2012

so like most years i was not not drawn, but i have a friend who drew for elk in 47 i didn't even know he put in. i haven't spent much time in the unit, but i will and i will do all the things necessary to have a good hunt. my question is has anyone had this tag? how was the hunt? was it tough? are there a lot of elk i know of some nice bulls coming out of there. just any conversation would be good. my friend has never killed a bull and hasn't hunted much since his dad passed, so i want it to be fun.

There is no 47 elk! There is 46 that covers all of 47 and a part of 41! 47 in deer and lope!

I hunted 46 with my super tag

There are some good bulls in 47, I seen a few pics of some 300"+ bulls and one of a 380"+ that came out of there last season... If you put the time in you could come home with a great bull! I'll see if I can find a pic of the bigger bull I mentioned...

I assume 47 is much like the adjacent 54. Not a lot of elk but they are not heavily hunted and NOT VERY WILD.

Hold out for a good one. I shot a monster there last fall..........with a squirt gun, because they wouldn't give me a tag (said no again this year).

I truly do see elk similar to the one in the preceding photo quite regularly.....meaning multiple times each year.

Hold out for a good one.

Within the shadows, go quietly.

Oh no that's not me nor did I have anything to do with the bull... Just a pic of a bull that came from the unit... I have only been down that way a couple times so I'm not very familiar with it but where I went there was as much access as you'd want...
