Need some outside advice, all the locals say our elk herd is nestled into the 9500ft to 10,500ft range. All summer when ever I go scout I'm finding signs of the herd being down around 8000ft. By signs I mean tracks and heavy used run ways, we were up there today all day from sun up to sun down same story but I've yet to see a elk all summer. I know they are there but need some outside pointers, should I loom higher? Every time I get above 9200ft it turns to heavy rock fields and little vegetation.
