I have the same tag so if your interested in sharing information let me know. So far, I've only spoken with the biologist which turned out not to be very helpful but plan on doing some scouting starting late next month after it starts cooling off. This is a new unit for me too as I wanted to start learning a new area with potential for good future deer hunts as well. When scouting, I plan on taking some horses down there to try and cover as much ground as possible with. I guess something that is new this year is that there is going to be a longer (8 day) overlap with the general season forky hunters which starts before this one so I'm sure by the time our season starts the elk are going to be burrowed into the thick stuff with all the pressure. It will be an interesting hunt and I'm really looking forward to checking out a new area. I'll probably bring the dog along as well for some chukar hunts along the way too.
