I\'ve heard folks say that great areas can be found 1/2 to 1 1/2 mile from the road. If they go 1/2 mile, they get away from a lot of the hunters. If they go more that 1 1/2 miles, they run into the beasts and guys with horses.
That makes sense.
So, now what? How do you scout these areas? What are you looking for?
How do you call? It seems that a good bugle would bring hunters running from all directions.
Any other advice?
I am a total elk beginner. This will be my first shot at elk hunting. I\'ve hunted deer for 25 year. I\'ve also done two rifle hunts for moose/caribou in Alaska. I\'m about 50 years old and in okay shape. (My real target season is September 2016. But folks told me that going this year would teach me more than anything else for next year. And I plan to be in better shape for next year). Any other advice would be greatly appeciated.
