Hoss50 Report post Posted September 13, 2018 It has a lot to do with the weather is my guess, just like most of the units up that way. If it is cold and has decent snow they will probably move to lower elevations. If no snow, then they could be anywhere. Try and scout a couple times in November before the hunt. Scouting now isn't very beneficial except to learn the lay of the land if you are not familiar with the areas. Get away from the roads, get up high, and glass. That is your best strategy to me.

davehc130 Report post Posted September 18, 2018 just go to the nasty canyons...the big bulls are looking to get away from the cows and just recover...get a decent set of glass and MUST GET TRIPOD...sit your butt on a lookout and glass glass glass.....on the late hunt if your spot a bull he will not move much and you can develop a plan to move in on him....fossel creek, wet beaver....they will both have big bulls in them....you just need to find them and have a good pack to debone and haul out the meat, cape and rack....You might want to precoordinate with someone that has mules to help haul it out... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wish2hunt Report post Posted November 20, 2018 If only seeing cows my advice would be to move areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 I dont know if 6a is the same as 7e, but in 7e I used to see more bulls at lower elevations then where I would see the cows. Harley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
