Hi, I am hunting elk for the first time this season and got a utah spike tag.
I plan to hunt central or southern UT and do alot of hiking and camping in the backcountry to get away from roads and other hunters.
I've read a couple books on elk hunting but am still struggling to figure out how to get started with picking an area to hunt and then understanding how elk tend to move and feed through thier range.
What kind of country should I focus on? What should I know about spike behavior that will help me locate them?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
