Willflow Report post Posted Saturday at 01:48 AM Believe me if it is in any way possible I will go up for a weekend however it's a big unit. Do I try north in the pines or south? I have a good Flatline map and I'm pretty good a reading it. I'm not asking for a honey hole, I never would I just don't know anything about this unit. I've seen 500+ elk In a dry Mormon lake but that's the wrong unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roofer Billy Report post Posted Saturday at 02:26 AM Honestly I like right at the edge of the pines and where the junipers start mixing in. I've always hunted unit 9 or 8 and have had my best luck in the junipers in late season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen 500+ elk In a dry Mormon lake but that's the wrong unit. 5bs is loaded with elk and dispersed throughout . Use that flatline map and locate water sources near canyons. Get on vantage points looking south into top 1/3 of canyons with good pinyon or pine cover. Use that map to identify topo lines with benches with wider line spacing. Elk will be there. A lot of tags so elk will be moving around the unit a lot. Be patient and an opportunity will present itself. Good luck! 👊 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
