Help with Nevada cow elk unit 78

[Wiley coyote]

Been hunting hard last 3 1/2 days. Scouted the two days prior to the season. I have not seen anything. Have not heard a peep. Walked miles after morning hunt and I do see some sign. Soft drippings, some tracks. I have heard one shot fired since the season opened.

This is my first elk hunt. I have been hunting them like deer. Sit a high vantage point over corridors between canyons, glass all morning and evening. Walk late morning early afternoon.
There's a handful of animals around, but with the lack of shooting I feel I should stay out and keep doing what I'm doing. Any advice is appreciated. PM's welcome. Thanks

If you're not seeing animals or fresh sign, move. I don't know anything about that unit, but I'd be heading to another area. It's usually pretty obvious whether or not elk are using a given location.

I would say it's time to move. Try driving around to see if you can locate a heard, or at least see a few animals. Then hunt that area.

Go deep. Go steep.

I was on my way there and learned I should have stayed put this morning. At least I have one patterned. Now just a waiting game.
