I know this a long shot, but....
The wife drew a doe tag in 45 for her first ever hunt. We successfully harvested her first deer on Tuesday evening. Well, I decided to buy her the quota'd B tag just in case we saw elk in there. We hunted up on Bennett Mountain and it was quite the shit show. Way more hunters than I have ever seen in one place...even more than 39. Granted that was opening day on a weekend...
Anyway, now I am hoping to fill her elk tag and I don't know much about 45/52. There's obviously a ton of private land around Bennett Mountain, and to be honest it doesn't seem like great elk country.
I was looking at OnX and thinking of moving east into 52 to see if there is some BLM & state land near cultivated fields, etc. where herds might be transitioning to/from to feed nightly.
Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone has hunted this tag before and had any advice. PM me if needed. Thanks in advance!
