Does anyone on here have experience with river hunting in thick bush country for elk?

Probably like hunting in alder thickets in the mountains, not real fun but elk like them.

People hunt in the Breaks that way all the time. You can glass from above and then stalk in, or find likely game trails and sit on them to ambush those that pass.

I was hoping to ask a few questions with how to hunt elk from a river that is straight thick bush with really no glassing opportunities.

Would be using a jet boat

I was curious about where to set up camp. It’s dangerous jet boating in the dark so I am curious how everyone gets to the location early in the morning or boat back to camp after dark

Just gotta get ya some good high beams lol
But I have a camper top and diesel heater in my boat so I sleep in it a lot.
If it’s a mellow deep river night boating isn’t bad at all with decent lights.
