Tneal, you better make it bow hunting or forget it. By the time rifle season opens those elk in there move out of the public land and onto the Eastern game-hog properties. I'm sure you know the score up there. I have a very close friend who is an optometrist in Lewistown and in the past he has had no trouble getting his bull in that area with a bow, and a couple of nice ones but not 380+! It's going to be tough to find one that will score that high. The one in my profile probably looks about that range but he's actually only 354. Wait ... you're saying you EXPECT to kill one that big, not that the tag requires them to be that big, right? Congrats.
