I have been putting in for this tag a few years because a friend of mine told me he would take me hunting there. Well after five years of trying i finally drew this tag. Now i have a little problem on my hand. My friend will be elk hunting in montana at this time. So i dont know this zone or where to start scouting. I have heard that there are some decent bucks in this area. I just need a little help on where to start looking. thanks for any help.

P.s. I am not a trophy hunter.
 
Was there last year. Warner range out of the town of Likely. Go east and hunt the north east sides of the ranges..
 
There are some dandy bucks in that area in DEC(on way goose hunting we saw a few book size buck down low).

Here's a buck I took there last year. My son drew this year, so i'm taking him to tag his first buck. You can try a place called Bidwell Mountain, and Dismal Swamp, it's in the far norther part of the zone. Other places that are good, are out of the town on Madeline, all the way to the south east of the zone. Call DFG and talk to the biologyt, he should give you some good info.

Congrats on the draw. It must be harder to draw that zone now, I drew it twice in the mid 90's. Great hunting up there, big deer. Every time we went my hunting partners got their bucks. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'll see if I can find the my old maps and get back to you.
 
Paul,
He's 28" wide, and scored 171 6/8" gross. We figured he weighed in at 250 - 275 pounds. He's suppose to be in the next Muley Crazy magazine if you want to read the story.

This tag can be drawn about every 4 years with the new point system. My son drew this year, so i'll be guiding him this year.

Hog, my son-in-law drew X3B this year. His parents bought a cabin up there last fall. He also drew an antelope tag so he's chompin' at the bit. His mom drew a G-6 tag for the second time in 4 years. She also drew a sheep tag about 5 years ago. Good luck this fall, PC
 
dsbudman, No way to what? If your talking about drawing the tag every 4 years, 900 tags and about 3,800 applicants means you'll draw for sure in about 4-5 years. Please clarify?
