This year I went back to an old area I had hunted 10 years ago. I had a cow tag. I walked the area, and spooked the biggest bull I'd ever personally seen. He had been bedded down. I recalled killing a raghorn in the exact same spot, 12 years previous. The spot is less than 100yds from a 2 track road, and this was 3 weeks into the elk season.
It reminded me that over time, hunting the same general area, I got to know that area.
Maybe spending more time over the years, hunting the same areas, which have produced or knowing it even held elk, helps one to get to know the elk patterns better. And there ARE areas that hold resident elk, that migrate only late late in the season to areas nearby.
