Tracker 12, unless things have changed from last year and I doubt it, if you have a type 6 cow/calf tag, that is good for the gun season but if you simply buy the archery tag, you can also bow hunt the entire month of September. Make sure to confirm that once you pick a unit but before you buy the tag. Why hunt with the gunners if you don't have to?
Hunting a unit with a leftover cow/calf elk tag is a great way to decide if that unit is worth using up all your preference points for a bull tag the next year. I did just that with a reduced price left-over tag 2 years ago, loved the unit and learned it, and returned last fall to kill a nice bull. Sadly that unit is sold out this year so I am repeating the process elsewhere.
I hunted 63/64 several years ago and saw a lot of elk, but there were lots of grizzlies and some wolves. Several maulings nearby over the last few years. I probably won't return there solo but I see there are plenty of left-over tags there, I bet you can wait and get the reduced price tags there. Game warden told me that is where the problem bears from Jellystone and Grand Tetons are dumped.
