Help me understand Elk - 09/13/21
Probably about as popular as someone posting asking for help to learn turkey hunting in my part of the world, but here goes nothing.
I’m not looking for a state, unit, or none of that. I’m asking because I want to learn and I want to try a hunt in the next couple of years.
During the rut and the earlier seasons, on public land, where do you find elk? Meaning are they typically in a higher altitude, and pushed back into deeper thicker stuff when pressure starts?
Also, I’m an “easterner” so I don’t know what I don’t know. Are atv’s used to get back further down trailheads out west, or do people have to walk or ride horses to get back away from the crowds?
