What's your mindset & approach to elk hunting? Aside from drawing a tough to get tag as most would hold out for a good representative of the area hunted. But other than that do most hold out for a particular trophy on General Season or OTC hunts? Or do you take the first legal animal because you don't come across many opportunities or time is limited? This is for bow or rifle hunting!
I'll say for me that these days I will hold out as long as possible for a branched antlered bull, it doesn't have to be a 6 point but I wouldn't turn one down either! (grin) By the same token I don't come across a lot of bulls in a seasons worth of bow hunting Sept.I may lower my standards as the season progresses depending on difficulty of hunt! All in all the first branched antlered bull is in trouble! (grin)
So what's your guys take?
