I thought finding elk would be easy in this unit but it was tougher than i thought...took my 11 year old daughter on the late november/early december youth hunt...first morning we were there put in about 9 miles and found 5 elk, unfortunately no shot which was partly my fault for falling...later that evening we had a heard coming in to a water hole but one cow busted us, she had a chance to shoot one but took too long to squeeze the trigger...saw nothing on sunday then had to come back for work and school...still had a blast, she is hooked, she did get an antelope earlier in the year...
went again this past weekend to take my 14 year old nephew on his first elk hunt and had vehicle problems the two days there however we did get into a herd sunday around noon and was able to get one, there were 20-30 in the herd, didn't count them all with the excite we had getting one...
introduced two kids to hunting this year, both made kills, and are hooked...
