The best rifle season is the 1st rifle season. All OTC units are LIMITED for the first rifle. However, many units can be drawn with 0 to 1 point, so I recommend you do your research and put in for 0-1 point unit. If you don't draw it this year, you will next year and will have the point you need.
This season does 2 things: limits elk tags and there are no deer hunters. Both of these things make for a better experience.
So look at some promising areas, look at the draw stats for those units and the success rates. Anything close to 20% success is about average to decent rates. That is right, 4 out of 5 elk hunters go home without an elk. Good luck
