This hunt is becoming more and more difficult, thanks to G&F opportunity. It's getting harder to find as many elk than it was 3-4 years ago. There are at least 4 elk hunts before the late bull hunt, and deer as well.
The elk will probably be scattered throughout the unit. They usually are on the late hunt. The biggest bulls will be in the thickest areas. They can be found, but it will take hard work and luck to do it. Be sure to check the areas in the far north part of the unit. You wont think elk would live in the wide open areas like that, but they do. Some big bulls hang out miles from trees in there.
