21A is not loaded with elk like 15, and 16’s and the other units further west, but they’re definitely in there. I had never been to 21A until last year. A buddy of mine somehow accidentally put in the wrong hunt code and drew the first rifle hunt. We went down two days before the hunt and had one day to scout. We covered as much country as we could and on the evening before the opener were able to glass up about 30 head that were about 3 miles away. Opening morning we were able to get on them and there was 2 mature bulls that were screaming their heads off. They weren’t giants, both around 300” but the show they put on was awesome. He ended up shooting the heavier and more dominant bull from 350 yds. If they aren’t talking get up high and glass.
