Hi,

I drew the 4th season in GMU 61 Nov 13-17. Can anyone provide info on where to focus my efforts?

Its only a 5 day hunt and will have 2-3 days to scout. If snows come early will need to focus on migration routes, lower elevations and look for hell holes where the bulls are hiding. Plan to truck camp with wall tent/wood stove, have good legs, in decent shape (I work out).

PM me if you can help.Thanks MG209

I could be wrong, but didn't you choose 4th over 2nd or 3rd? I thought it was a float tag. It will probably be nice to be out there then without as many people running around.

Congrats on the tag, and welcome to the site.

Thank you all for the replies!

Yes, I put in for the 4th season. Have all the cold weather gear and know despite the greater chance of snowy weather it can still be hit or miss.

Unit 61 is big, would like to narrow it down on where to focus before the bulls reach the private land at the lower elevations.

If there's minimal snow you will find the elk in the same areas as archery, muzzy, 1st, 2nd and 3rd elk. If there's a lot of snow you'll have to get info from someone else as I have no idea where they will be.

Still hoping to pull a 2nd, 3rd or 4th season tag on the re-issue list. Good luck!

Thanks for the info all. Leaving on Nov 8 so will have some scouting time. Plus see how some of the 3rd season hunters fared.
