Hello,
This is my first post, and certainly new to this forum, or any hunting forum for that matter.
I'm a self taught, and avid, outdoorsmen who began hunting 5 years ago. I started by myself - no one hunts in my family.
I've now gotten two of my close friends into this incredible sport, and conservation, for the last two years.
New season, zeroed rifles, and fresh gear for them both - we quite literally see everything EXCEPT the game we're attempting to harvest.
I spent nearly 5 days glassing 2 units, driving out nearly 7 hours to the end of unit 39, see so much potential and game, but see nothing but does and elk when it's opening day.
HERE?S WHERE I NEED YOUR ADVICE:
I'm going for an August Cow Elk in unit 54. I have hunted in unit 46 for Antelope with success, but never in 54. I want to take out one of those friends and get him an animal down. He?s a chef, and would do incredible things with the meat, and your first harvest doesn't have to be a monster with a rack.
Any advice on generally where I should begin looking?
I'm currently in London, England for work, but will be returning on the 21st.
I've spent hours checking the unit via OnX, but some local help would be fantastic.
Thank you in advance!
