It was pricey, sticker price was a little over20K, but with a bottle of crown and some slick negotiation skills my buddy got the price down to about 15 each, of course once you add in air fare, air charter, license, tags, tips, hotels, necessary equipment, sat phone rentals, taxidermy fees, shipping and crating of trophies, etc, etc it was a lot and I have intentionally never added up the full cost, some things are better not known

For Non residents New Mexico is all draw, and they don't have preference points. So its all by odds. Unless you want to do an outfitter and New Mexico last I checked was on the higher end as far as states go because they have some of the biggest bulls there on average. Now you can go with an outfitter and they can help with tags but that costs you too.

OP, what are you looking to spend? If you want a legit 7x7 or I'm sorry but 8x8 you are talking $20,000+.

The "trophy bull" states are Utah and New Mexico and will cost you more. You may want to check out Montana and Idaho as those are probably "lesser known" states for Elk then wyoming and Colorado so a lot of times you can get better rates. Idaho has tons of Over the counter tags for rifle, not sure about Montana. As said Wyoming is all draw and its not easy to draw the first year but you can buy a preference point for like $500 that helps a ton in most areas. A preference point not trying to draw for that same year is $50.
