I only have 3-4 pts, but I'm wondering which unit to put in for. 16 or 7?

Any thoughts? I know I don't have much of a chance to draw at all. I just don't want to do general and the late hunt for 106 I think it was has become mostly private.

Just want to hunt elk.

Thanks.
 
Both 16 and 7 have private land issues. The Q Ranch in 16 is one of the biggest ranches in the entire country! The elk know the boundary. You may want to take a look at both cow and bull tag numbers in both units....they give out a heck of a lot of tags and so the elk generally know where to go once pressured. With that said there are a few (not many) isolated spots in 16 where you may find elk. I would definitely carry a good GPS with OnXMaps or you may find yourself in trouble....the Q and game wardens watch the boundaries like hawks!

7 is a giant unit with gobs of both cow and bulls tags. There is some super rugged country if you are willing to put on some boots and figure out how to negotiate around all the private land. There are super bulls harvested in 7 every year but you'll have your work cut out for you finding them on public land.

With that said both units would be a lot of fun. If you are willing to put in the time scouting and boot leather hunting it will likely pay off.
