Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Roughest and Easiest Elk Country

It can't get much easier than where we got 2 elk this Tuesday. It was 10 miles north of Bliss, ID. Flat with a few low rolling hills. Some grass, some sagebrush, some small rocks. The trick is to find them where they can't see you from a mile away. I posted this pic a couple days ago. Look at the background. Most of it's 3500 to 4000'. Even sea level city boys won't be sucking too much air at that altitude. It's too much land and too open to walk around looking. That would be totally futile. Everyone drives the roads and glasses from high points. We spotted these elk from a hill top with a soaring peak of 3720' and shot them 1.5 miles away at 3600'. We walked 1.2 miles to get to them.
