    JB'S '16 Elk Safari: Road to Elk Slayer Status.

    Thanks for sharing... I still have not learned the secret on how to get my wife willing to allow me gone enough to hunt elk for that long. Shoot, 12 days is pushing it for me! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hunt research sites?

    I just subscribed to gohunt, I agree with RAHC. The gohunt is still fairly new, so hopefully comes out with more features and such. I feel like most of the tips are very generic. Also, most of writing is obviously form people out of the area just doing research online as I have found a lot of...

    Broadhead options for deep six - skinny shafts.

    I thought about going that route, until I read about the GT Pierce PLATINUM. I think i am going that route so I don't have to worry about the limited broad heads out there for the Deep Six.

    Close to home in a unit with low elk numbers, or 4 hours from home with more elk?

    Thanks again everyone. I think the answer here is to hunt both areas. I think I can get enough scouting in, and should be pretty easy to do that around the house. I will make a few pre season trips to the other areas further away and then have a backup plan. If I were to get into elk in say...

    Close to home in a unit with low elk numbers, or 4 hours from home with more elk?

    That is correct , sorry I should have said that the way that I read that, as well as my research on elk, is that Big mule deer, and big elk seem to like the same terrain. For example, north facing slopes, thick cover etc.

    Close to home in a unit with low elk numbers, or 4 hours from home with more elk?

    I have been leaning towards that as well. I just need to get out there and find them prior to the season to know where they are at. Here in Oregon, the Elk and Deer archery tag are during the same season. Do the Big Mule deer Bucks hang out in the same country as the Big Elk? It seems to...

    Close to home in a unit with low elk numbers, or 4 hours from home with more elk?

    That is good advice. I think that I will roll with it this season and really hit both areas hard. Might plan a little longer trip for the further area and hunt around the house on weekends and before and after work since it stays light for much longer during that time.

    Close to home in a unit with low elk numbers, or 4 hours from home with more elk?

    I can do both, but I don't want to waste a lot of time scouting that much area. Maybe if I know where some elk are locally, try that early and then move on to a unit with a little more elk if that does not pan out. Maybe I am just overthinking it. :-)
