Hello guys. Wondering if anybody has had success up in 59/59A for bulls. My Dad has a tag and we have hunted all over the unit the past 2 weeks and have not seen a branch antlered bull!

We hunted Thursday and Friday this week and found 5 different herds with between 40-60 elk and none of the herds have mature bulls in them. There are plenty of spikes, one group of 60 had 14 spikes!

If any of you have experience in this unit elk hunting late in the season, would you mind sharing with me where in the heck the big bulls go? Are they still up high in the deep snow? Are they in the timber? They sure as heck aren't where we have been looking.

The area is getting pounded with a huge storm right now and I'm hoping the snow will drive all of the elk down a bit lower. We are going back the last 3 days of this month and hopefully we can find some bulls.
