There are spots in every unit that look like they should hold elk, yet sometimes they just never use those spots. The fact there is sign in the area helps, but if it's not fresh, it doesn't matter during your hunt. I'm of the opinion that you cover ground until you find elk. That can be covering...
We've got another giveaway for you guys! The winner of this giveaway will receive a Mystery Ranch Spotting Scope Sling (in Foliage) and a Mystery Ranch Stick-It Plus (in Blaze Orange). These are compatible with any pack, so you don't need a Mystery Ranch pack to use these.

With some elk seasons kicking off in less than a month, what do you have left in your prep for the season? I figured sharing some things here might help others realize what they still need to do.
Personally, I need to get some more shooting in and a little bit of additional e-scouting. My first...
It sounds like you have a great plan in place already, so well done! If it were me, I would spend those scouting dates glassing from my top spots, both early and late in the day when the elk will be most active. If I don't turn anything up during those scouting dates, I'd move on to the next...
Man, I'm too OCD to not have a list! I find that lists help me make sure I don't forget anything. The best part is I adjust the list each year to add items that I need or remove items I don't use. Seems to work well!
You are archery hunting and making your way through the woods, throwing out the occasional call, when you hear what sounds like a bedded bugle 100 yards away. You give it some time, and about a minute later you hear the same call, which sounds like it's coming from a nearby meadow. You ease your...
Bumping this back up. Was just up in the high country camping with the wall tents and still having issues with the pole bags. There has to be a better way than to keep buying these bags. Thinking of concocting some sort of nylon strap setup like Terry had mentioned. Anyone else come up with...
Congratulations to twilliams212 for winning the giveaway! Keep an eye out as we'll be doing more soon. Like ribo said, hopefully we can get some traffic going once again!
Totally understand what you're saying. The toughest part is having never been there. If you go that deep, there could be great feed and less pressure, but the elk still might not be there. Just be sure you have a backup plan that, hopefully, doesn't require hiking all the way back out if you...
A few things to consider before going that far in:
1) If you shoot an elk back there, can you reasonably get it out before it spoils?
2) Do you really want to fully commit to a spot 7 miles in? That's a lot of work, only to get back there and potentially find out there aren't any elk.
Going...

I would be careful posting too much information on specific spots on here, just FYI. Anyone can google search units, roads, etc and find posts. Might want to consider sending direct messages to each other instead.
Super jealous of that September. Some solid tags for sure! Make sure to save some money for the taxidermy bill, and don't forget to tip them well enough to put a solid wall mount on there...you don't want a trophy falling off the wall again!
To answer your question, yes, it could hold elk that time of the year. But depending on conditions, the elk could also be higher or lower. It's best to have spots across different elevations so if you aren't finding them at one elevation, you can try another.
