elk unit 10 muzzleloader 61 muzzleloader or 61 rifle?

[cdunn]

I have 13 resident elk pnts burning a hole in my pocket. I was hoping for unit 10 rifle but doesnt seem like ill ever catch up. My current thoughts are unit 10 or 61 muzzleloader or unit 61 1st rifle. It looks like they gave out 4 unit 10 muzzleloader and around 34 unit 61 muzzleloader tags last yr. The limitations of my blackpowder rifle worry me a little. Im much more comfortable with a reg rifle but ok out to 150 yrds with blackpowder. Also I have not been to either unit during the blackpowder season. Any thoughts, advice or opinions would be great.

Thanks for any words of wisdom!

how big of bull are you hoping to kill?

Im not looking for anything crazy, 350+ would be awsome, but I would like to have a great experience and hopefully have a chance at a nice size 6x6. Myself and my hunting partner are in great shape so hiking far and packing something out will be worth the rewards. I guess after waiting 13yrs for points now im afraid to use them.
