My son had this hunt for elk in 2004. It was a pretty lean hunt for us. I scouted a couple of weeks before season and saw nothing. As I was leaving the area on the scout trip I stopped one last place to bugle and heard a faint reply. I decided we would start there on the opener.
We went to the spot on the opener and heard a weak distant bugle and moved towards it. As we were moving quietly I started seeing the first fresh sign I had seen and told my son to keep his eyes open. It wasn't 3 minutes later when my son said "There's one!". It had come in quiet to cow calling. It was a branched antler hunt and all I could see was a spike, but when he turned his head there was a fork on the other side. I said shoot and he nailed the 60 yard shot and got his first elk!
We were on the flats about a mile from the hospital. There was a road that went to the west and it had a gate. We walked into that area and then worked back south towards the hospital. Look in that thicker vegetation and slowly still hunt.
Good luck!

I just read the other posts and found out it is a deer hunt! Sorry, but no deer info. (I did enjoy recaping our hunt though)
