First elk

[Bhilly81]

This year I have set myself a goal to fill my first ever elk tag. I have hunted them a few times in the past with over the counter archery and I tried once for the rifle hunt. I am in my last year of the dedicated program and I can also harvest a deer as well but I am going to see if I can pick up a multi season elk tag and focus on that this year but if a deer steps out I will not hesitate to fill that tag as well. With this being said is there any tips or pointers that anybody would like to share or recommend to aid me in my quest or goals?? Still super new to elk hunting but I am willing to learn and try to get it figured out as best I can. I do know some areas up strawberry that hold some elk but it also seems to hold cattle and sheep as well. Plus that is not where my deer tag is good for either. Thanks for any thoughts and input.

Might Also Be where Your Elk Tag is Not Valid as Well?

Yes I am just going to try to get a multi season spike tag that would be valid for majority of the state.

OTC any bull elk hunts are very challenging. You will want to spend lots of time scouting in the any bull areas you plan on hunting. Do your best to locate the elk and before the hunt starts and then scouting for them. Expect lots of hunters even in difficult to reach places. I hope you reach your goal.

This year I plan to hunt the spike areas and work on those for now since I also have the deer tag in the areas as well. But yes I do agree about scouting a lot and I will be out there scouting as much as I can this summer with cameras up and lots and lots of glassing as well.
