Getting ready to apply for the draw and was wanting to get some opinions on which hunt would be better. Would be looking for a 300 bull. Fishlake muzzy or bow, manti muzzy or bow or oak creek early rifle. Thanks for any info
 
Were I you, wasatch or manti would be the top of the list. If you can draw one you should draw the other.....

I think that a 300 bull is more than realistic on any of those units. Especially on the muzzy hunt. It is obviously tougher if you go archery no matter what you choose. In the past, the fishlake has held some great bulls, but I hunted it last year and we really struggled. But I honestly believe that there are still some really good bulls down there, just a tough year.

I agree with above, it depends on which unit you are the most familiar with and which one you could put the most scouting time into.
 
Thanks for the information! I should have told you that im from michigan,so there will be no scouting. I was thinking of hiring a guide if im lucky enough to draw. Are these units huntable for a 67 year old guy in decent shape? Would one be better than the other for older hunter? Thanks
 
I would go Wasatch or Manti Muzzy. The archery hunt has very low success rates and is a tough hunt. Both units are doable if you are in decent shape.

May I suggest no matter how good of shape your in, double your exercise routine several months in advance of the hunt and hit it hard when you get here. These elk hunts can be very demanding and even at 38 I wear down after several days of chasing rutting bulls.

If you have the points go for it. You could do well with archery too but be warned it can be tough even with a guide in the heat and inactivity of the pre rut. Some dang nice bulls get shot early but the safe bet is later. 300 bulls are the norm, up to about 330 for an average herd bull on those units. Much bigger is a possibility. Good luck on your hunt!
