Thanks for the helpful comments WM70. The two recent years (not counting last year when worked precluded the hunt), there were recent elk tracks everywhere in the snow. I couldn't tell if they had moved through and were gone or were hiding in the cover. I will try for a bull OTC or draw, but I hope I can draw the PLO cow tag for where my property is. Then, I would have four months week-on, week-off to work on that, starting in early September. Unlike deer, who seem more easily spooked during hunting season, the elk seem spooked all year long. I'm gonna work extraa hard this year.
