My brother drew a 55 muzzleloader deer tag. He needs someone to go with him. If I go I would like to try and hunt Elk with a bow, or maybe muzzleloader. Can anyone tell me if it is worth the $500. I would only be interested in shooting a 6 point bull. Thanks for the help!
 
We were hunting unit 54 2nd season deer last year. There was 4 of us with tags, two of us bought elk tags and got dang lucky and found got 2 six point bulls. we did see several bulls but nothing bigger than small 4 and 5 points. If your stuck on a 6 point then ya I wouldnt waste the money but if you want a good time and have a chance at a bull then I would do it..
 
I hunted 55 for deer 3rd season last year. Saw one bull the whole time, but I was mainly where the pine and sage brush meet. The bull I saw was a 5x5.

Tons of other elk hunters in there. ATVs all over the place. Bulls are hard to come by, especially of that size in 55. But the deer... oh the deer!!! ;-)

Hard to come by a big bull in 55. I have hunted there during archery season for the last 4 years. Only have a cow tag during archery season since I usually take a bull tag during rifle season. Mostly raghorns. I've never seen a 6X6 there and have only heard a few stories from other hunters that say they've seen 6X6's in the area.
