Hunted the West Beulah on public land last year second season and I mean I hunted. Spent 6 full days in a roadless chunk I have killed many a bull in. Saw a grand total of two elk. Both bulls. Just couldn't get them to hold still long enough. I think the population is way under management objective. There are still a few elk left but not like a decade or two ago. Maybe some of the private land is better ?
