LAST EDITED ON Sep-03-03 AT 03:15PM (MST)[p]elk hunting hipothetical situation,
you hunting public land,(national forrest,
bow season has been on for two weels and your heading out
muzzy season.
you hunted the area last year and ran into lots/ herds of elk down low,
on privet land, this year the conditions are just about the same,
no rain, food groth is minimal, do you think teh elk will be high.
oh ya for got to mention there is a rancher who has about 300 acres in hay. and water , with 3 sides of his place in timber and one or 2 sections that from the areial photos apear to be old grouth and on north slopes.
with in 2 miles as the crow flies or straight down the hog backs as teh elk would run.
Now you hunting budy does think there will be any thing there.
if you had the chance to hunt this would you.
the cows neew food/ and water, and there is no one bothering them because it privet land and there is no hunting on it.
now the bulls are going in to rut,
do you think the bulls are going to chase the cows up high to get a peice?
or do you think the bulls will go to where the cows are, if they haven't been there all summer already?
let you know i got premission to hunt this property with my group.
one guy thiks it is a wast of time just because he heard from a nother guy it better on the other side of the fience,
and wants to go check it out, mind you we don't have all week to run all over, I'm for planting my ass in a spot and waitinig. am I wrong? set up a herd of decoys and cow call. morning and evenings,
