I won’t argue the merits or pitfalls of elk hunting or elk hunters. I attempt to steer clear of the dipsticks and drunken yahoos and hunt elk at my own pace and style. In recent years that has been private land with no public access. I enjoy hunting in peace and safety. I deer hunt on a 2,200 acre lease (no fences) where there is seldom more than 5 hunters, except maybe on a Saturday which I don’t hunt, spread out on 40 to 100 acre blocks. Tranquility is priceless.
