DYI elk hunt
Most elk country is bigger and higher than you think.
It’s not uncommon to hike 10+ miles in a day.
If you’ve never hiked at high elevation the lack of oxygen will surprise you.
Get in “cardio” shape and show up a few days early to hang out and get used to it.
Remember, 10% of the country holds 90% of the elk.
If you are not seeing elk, or very fresh sign of elk, move.
Be ready for extreme weather, it can go from warm and sunny to freezing blizzard in a moment.
Carry plenty of water and basic survival gear EVERYWHERE, all the time.
