Curious what the general consensus is on this extremely broad question...
Hunting a unit that I have hunted before. Typically find elk in 4-5 different spots. Last year we hunted 1 spot almost every evening and sometimes they were there, sometimes they weren't. Had a few opportunities but neither my buddy or I could seal the deal.
This year we've been bouncing around to different spots and even if they're in a spot in the morning, we may go somewhere else midday or in the evening if we bump them or don't get an opportunity.
There are other people hunting some of the spots and I've been winded in a few of them. If one of us gets winded we have been heading somewhere else for the next day or so before returning.
Do you guys bounce around to different spots or hit the same spot again and again until you connect? It seems like I could spend 7 days in one spot and at some point have an opportunity, but it's also hard to hit somewhere in the morning and come up empty, then stay all day when I can go to another spot that may have elk...
