HEY TO ALL OF YOU HUNTERS OUT THERE. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN OUT HOPE YOUR SEASON HAS BEEN GOOD. GOING SCOUTING ON THE 8TH OF OCT FOR ELK IN UNIT 13. NEVER HUNTED OR SCOUTED THIS UNIT BEFORE. GOT PICKED FOR THIS UNIT AS A 4TH CHOICE. SO WAS WONDERING WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START. NOT LOOKING FOR ANYONES "SWEET SPOT", BUT AS FAR AS WHICH SIDE OF HIGHWAY 60 WOULD BE BEST TO START ECT.... THANKS FOR ANY INFO THAT U CAN SHARE

I went in off of 60 in August on a scouting trip. Saw elk on both sides of 60 north of Datil. A nice herd coming down from the Radio Tower on your left about 2 miles from town.

Cheers

North and West of Datil will be your best bet. If you go north almost to the res boundry you will do well also. Absolutely stay in the Southwest corner of this unit. Good luck, I have a cow muzzleloader tag in Dec. Let me know how you do and what you saw.

WELL I KNOW IT A LITTLE LATE BUT WE DID GET OUT AND SAW SOME ELK.
COUPLE NICE BULLS BUT TO BAD WE ONLY HAVE COW TAGS. SAW THEM ON BOTH SIDES OF HIGHWWAY 60. REALLY DIDNT GET OUT TO MUCH ON SUNDAY CUZ THE RIAN HAD THE ROADS IN BAD SHAPE. NOT A MUCH OF LANDIN THAT PART OF THE UNIT TO HUNT BUT LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD BE A FUN HUNT. ONLY GOT TO WAIT 2 MORE MONTHS. GOOD THING DEER IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
