slopoke36 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 Looking for a little information on how to hunt elk in Nov, Are the bulls off the cows? Will they be talking? Are they going to be at lower elevation? Any information would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loco4coues Report post Posted October 28, 2010 What unit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted October 28, 2010 Most Nov hunts the bulls will be separated from the cows. Occasionally we find a decent bull still checking on cows, but it is rare. They will not be talking much at all, most of the bulls will be in thick, remote areas with lots of feed and water trying to recoup from the rut. It does depend on the unit like Loco4coues was referring to when he asked. Good luck on your hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
200"mulie Report post Posted October 28, 2010 last year in unit 1. most of the bulls were off the cows very few were in the pines and there was pretty big herds out in the flats with some decent bulls in them. none of the monsters was with them. we did bump into a herd of bulls out in the flats also that were mostly big bulls. cows are pretty much the only ones talking to each other to make sure everyone is ok and accounted for. you might hear a small short bugle (we heard 2 last year) hunt the flats and be prepared to take long shot.

azslim Report post Posted October 28, 2010 If you want a big one find the dirtiest, nastiest stretch of country and go look there. They will be in spots you really don't want to pack them out of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted October 28, 2010 That 3a 3c hunt is extremely tough in the late season. My advice is to scout in the low juniper/cedar country and be prepared to walk. Some areas up by Black Canyon you can glass, but usually after all the hunts it is difficult to see anything, they will not be in the open areas. I live in Pinedale, PM me if you want as it gets closer and I can give you some starting areas. You may get lucky and get a bull to come in blind, but no for all intents and purposes they will not answer calls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will be in spots you really don't want to pack them out of. +1 Most of 3a/3c's bulls just visit for the rut. There are elk there year yound. It will take some looking though.
