[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 379809, member: 429"] At that time, in that unit, they sent a list of landowners to contact. I was fortunate enough to have family and friend connections as well. I scouted preseason, and talked to the locals as much as I could. Having friends and family was where it counted though. I had several offers to hunt other landowners’ land, but several of them had tags themselves and said they would call once they tagged which I completely respected and understood at the time. I would have been the same way If I was in their shoes. In the end, I tagged out on a great bull. Those same individuals made their living and moved out of oil country for their retirement, and no longer live in the area. I had a bull tag, not a cow tag. I would think landowners would be inviting to fill a cow tag. My advice to the OP would be to do some homework: scout, talk to the game and fish, converse and be friendly to the locals around towns in the unit. Unless statistics have changed, the ND Elk tag is statistically the toughest tag to fill out of the big 3. It’s not an easy hunt. Like everything else: the more time you put into it, the greater the odds. [/QUOTE]
