I am trying to help a friend of mine who drew the early season unit 45 elk tag. It opens tue the 22 and we went up this weekend. Saw a few bulls but nothing of the caliber that i have been told this unit produces. We are not even wanting monsters, but would love to find a solid 300 plus bull. Any info and help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Well lets see. Fish and Wildlife blasted the hell out of the wolves in that area this spring. Most elk hang on private ground. I drew an elk tag in'88 for the east side of the Hill City/Bliss road. Lots of open country and the elk were few and far between. A friend of mine hunted a very narrow strip of public land on Bennett last fall. They pulled two 300 class bulls out of there, but said he'd never do it again without horses. They were back in 6 miles. He saw a few bulls that were pushing 320, while he was packing elk meat. Overall, he was disappointed in the size of bulls. That's just one guys opinion. The bright side is he saw a ton of bulls.
 
Well if you would not mind - or should I say your friend not mind I would love to know where they were at. She has both her boyfriend and I to help and we have horses, don't mind working hard at all to help her get it.
