I've killed more than a few elk. Way more than a few, truth be told.
They've gotta eat, so pushing deep snow is pretty fruitless. I tend to work the edge of the snow or a bit higher. Places where they can feed, either by day or night, and where they can water.
In full daylight, you'll often find a "crown of elk" positioned around the end of an open ridge. The old bitch lead cow does that for the herd's protection. There is ALWAYS a way to work the terrain and the wind and right into the herd.
Then the fun begins.
Yeah, shoot at one cow and no other until it is dead. I've seen that clusterf**k way too many times.
