My oldest boy drew 71,711 3rd season deer as a non resident. He’s been busy with HS football so he hasn't gotten to get out in the hills much. He’s pumped for this opportunity. We have some places lined out to hunt and I was told to buy him an OTC bull tag just in case as well. Just wanting to get some thoughts on the elk population and what kind of success rates there were for both the deer and elk during the 3rd season. I’m assuming a lot will depend on the weather but either way it should be a good time. Thanks.
 
Wish I had some info for you but I've only hunted 70 3rd season for deer. Wish you guys a great hunt however.
 
The elk here are pretty spotty and they've been pushed hard for a couple of months now. Just like the deer.

I would consider your chances of success low (<20%?, CPW can give you the real number). That said, some guys will get lucky and run across them. But, if you can afford it why not put a tag in your pocket?

They pushed our football season back to spring here. Good luck and enjoy your hunt.
