ready2hunt Report post Posted December 9, 2016 Wow!! Friends up in 10 had the same problem. How was it as far as other hunters/pressure? that sucks. I've had that happen before. Not very often but it does tame my hunting ego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted December 9, 2016 I am glad I am not alone... I spent 7 days in 7e and I didn't see a single live elk until day 6. It was 381 yards away and it's vitals were covered by a tree. Tag soup sucks especially when I know freaking road hunters were killing elk. I am no master hunter but I hiked at least 40 miles.

Zeke-BE Report post Posted December 9, 2016 Happen to me in the past in Unit 8. Lots of elk but i was in the wrong place every time. Whats funny you will probably happen to help a friend out in that unit in a couple of years and it will be endless amount of elk! Funny how that goes! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted December 9, 2016 That is rough. We hunted the whole hunt and before the snow we saw 100+ elk a day. After the storm we saw only a few in those same areas. It took us a day to find out where they were and then we were back in them. I think the weather really plays a role in elk moment this time of year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More D Report post Posted December 9, 2016 I helped out on a 6A muzzy hunt and I did not see a single elk. Temps were in the 60's during the day. Nice for camping but poopy for hunting elk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
