Migrating Elk Behavior

[WyoKimber]

I will be hunting migrating elk at the end of the month in western Wyoming. The herd I am hunting migrates upwards of 130 miles in an average of 27 days (per wyfg data). With that much ground to cover, does their behavior during the day change significantly? Will they still bed during the day, or will they keep moving during daylight hours? Will they spend much time feeding at all? Looking for input from people with experience hunting elk during a migration.

You sure they’ll be migrating at the end of the month? IME elk migrate when they’re forced by snow. Sometimes that’s October…sometimes it’s December.
