I may put in for this draw and if drawn, be selective and shoot calves. This kind of opportunity at the time of the year where no season for an edible game animal is open does not come by every year.

Good point, I never thought of that. Elk gestation is 240-262 days. The first hunt in Feb would put it around 135 days if bred mid September. I am curious what size the fetus would be.
