Hoping for some info on unit 70, not specifics but general info. I've hunted 711/71 for OTC elk but might have enough points to draw a third season deer tag in 2015 in unit 70. I'll be 60 by the time I could draw 711 4th season and don't need to kill a book buck but would love to at least know there is a chance at seeing a mature deer.
My question is if I buy an OTC or cow tag for this fall to try to get a feel for if it is something I want to do for next year combo, is the area I would hunt elk the same as deer for that third season? My partner isn't the most mobile with age so I thought this year might be a good chance to get out hunting and check out some new country and hopefully fill the freezer with some elk.
Is this a crazy thought? Is the hunter density crazy because of the OTC tags? Do most guys road hunt like further south? I see there are a few cow tags for 3rd season, is that a reasonable chance to fill with some hiking? Is the weather likely to limit access? Is it like 71/711 where there are some elk lower but the bulk really high until snow pushes them down?
Any help would be appreciated.
