Hello all,
I am looking for some input from those with experience. I have an archery elk tag in AZ for the middle of November. I have had this same tag twice before and also a tag during the rut in the same unit. I have had zero luck finding the elk during the November hunt. The unit has a large amount of high alpine 7,000-10,000 ft habitat and also a large amount of lower elevation Pinyon/Juniper 5,000-7,000 ft habitat. During the rut the high zone has got elk everywhere. What conditions have you seen push the elk to lower elevations? Cold, cold & snow, or only snow depth? By the time November comes around the unit has been heavily hunted, and usually there is only 1-2" of snow. Thoughts on what you all have seen elk do going into winter. Thanks in advance!
