afognak elk hunt

[Tastybearmeat]

So I was lucky enough to draw a tag for an elk hunt on the eastern half of afognak DE723. I've never hunted elk and have never been to afognak. Looking for some advice from anyone who has been there and chased elk around. Thanks for the help!

Looks like its the year of the Elk. I drew a tag for Etolin Island.

I would start talking with ADFG biologists for the area, they are usually very helpful and willing to give some info.

Tasty,

I drew the DE723 tag as well, Do you have a partner yet? I'm looking to get with someone.

Nice! I got to tag along on a trip out to Raspberry a few years ago. It was one heck of a trip. Amazing place. Best of luck!

High Country do you have any recommendations on the area or any knowledge on what to expect from there?

From what I've read and watched, they're a shit load of bears.

I was on Raspberry Island. It was quite the adventure. Did see lots of bear sign and a few bears. If Raspberry is where you are headed feel free to PM me for my number. It would be easier to just talk through it.

A few threads to look at here:

I saw elk and just focused on Raspberry, if your looking for other areas I apologize for taking this thread off track...

Rob schneider,
Definitely interested in a partner with a tag. Are you in the wasilla area?

Might be a lost cause, but interested in how the hunt(s) panned out. I'm starting to put it with a hunting partner for Afognak, and intend to keep that going until one or both of us draw...Just trying to do my due diligence. What worked what didnt?
