whats the best state for elk?

[Garrett Weaver]

All people ever talk about are how things used to be good. There any states that are on the upswing for animals.

I would say that Colorado is holding it's own, it doesn't have the big Wolf problem Yet. JMO

Best?..... What is your deff of best?
In My opinion Nevada!! IMHO the most under rated big bull state in the country!
New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah

Utah's LE areas have had the most bulls entered into the record book in the last 10 years and always produces some monster bulls.  AZ would be next, NV produces some Monsters but lets face it very few of us will ever regularly have these tags in our pockets.  For OTC Colorado has got to have the best herds and the most area that you can hunt.

Im sure every state is great but i would say Arizona, Utah, Nevada

CO still has the largest number of elk by FAR over any other state!

 

[ElknastyT]

The best state is the one that you typically know the best! Colorado has the highest percentage of elk in it, however elk populations are pretty decent in a bunch of states in the NW!

Utah-Arizona and as for numbers,Colorado.
