Supposedly they are so rare, you can only be drawn for one hunt. So I was lucky to be drawn. I can never even buy a draw card again since I got one.
Most guys go up and never see one. My partner missed a couple of shots, found out later he was developing diabetes and was having vision problems.
I told my oldest son about the size of the herd and he didn't speak to me for about a week. He has never been drawn and had a couple of friends who made the drawing but never saw a lope.
Their meat is probably better than an elk.
I adore elk meat - it's been years since I had any.............SIGH
