Where I hunt water is scarce in sept. and that's where I have found most of the elk. The big bulls I shed hunt every year winter less than six miles from this area but haven't ever showed up. But.... They are somewhere... Just have to keep looking.
Wow, that makes finding them tough. It's a front range unit that gets pretty dry. So I have concentrated on water but haven't been able to track down some of the monsters I watch in the winter.
How far do elk travel to and from their winter/summer range. I'm trying to find a few bulls that winter in my unit. It's a low dry unit . Any ideas? I found some good bachelor groups but not the big boys I see in winter.
