There are over 100,000 non-residents ahead of you in the preference draw. Including all weapon types, only about 110-120 non-residents draw a tag each year, therefore it won't take years to draw, you will never draw any of the early hunts. Your best chance to draw a tag would be one of the late hunts and 6A and 5B offer the best odds. Lots of elk and 300+ bulls get killed every year, just not very many in relation to the number of tags issued. If you have the time to scout or hire a good guide, bigger bulls are possible in the late hunts in most units if you get lucky. A lot of the bulls will be broken that time of year and the big ones that survive intact are very, very hard to come by.
