Anyone with experience hunting a 6-7 yr old wilderness burn area? Is this a good time to hunt a burn area? This will be a onetime draw for me. I assume elk will bed in the unburned timber, and feed in the burn areas. Any insights appreciated.
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I learned my burn pretty well so I know there areas I can ambush them as they are coming from feeding in and moving to timber to bed.
I?ve learned to be over prepared and scout the heck out of my area. I?ve had people hike in 6 miles and be camped in my spot but I set up trail cams and knew where the elk wanted to be and how to stay away from the other hunters. I bring an extra 2-3 days of food because I get hungry and I?ve got a water purification filter to get extra water from near by lakes and streams. Good luck out there!
