If you see elk at last light coming out and feeding, how often do you find that they are in the same area the next morning? Obviously, the moon can have some effect on this, but I'm curious what you all have experienced.
 
I think that depends on the time of the year and the size/makeup of the group. If it's during the rut and there are multiple bulls in the herd I've seen them 5 miles away the next afternoon when we finally caught up to them. They were bugling like crazy in the evening then the next morning not a sound so we set out looking.

If it's late October and a couple of elk they may be standing in that exact spot the next morning. I say that and last year on a late season cow hunt there were 300 elk in a group that didn't move 500 yards in 3 days on private.

Generally when undisturbed by man or animals they're close.
