Looking for some information about planning a Late November - January hunt. Would prefer to stick with Elk and/or Bear, but not totally ruling out Mule Deer. Rifle is also preferred, but archery would work. DIY only.
I have been researching OTC and Draw hunts, but most of the state wildlife websites are pretty tough to navigate. I have been going Rifle season in Colorado for 15+ years and understand that system, but i'm lost with NM, AZ, WY, etc. I have found threads about people hunting elk this late, but can't seem to find the tag information on the corresponding state's big game website.
This time of year works best for our group of 4-5 hunters. We are in West Texas, so trying to keep driving distance reasonable. Some of the south east Arizona units are showing about 8 hours away which would be fine.
I may be too late for this year, unless there are some OTC tags available in these places.
Thanks in advance for any help!
