I'm still learning a ton about elk hunting. I've gone the last 2 years to a spot that I found through online maps and talking with some local buddies. I have been fortunate enough to take an elk one of those years and my buddy got one the other year. Turns out it's pretty crowded and I've been eyeing a few other spots to try. Knowing more about everything now I'm thinking boots on the ground would help me out alot on a new spot rather than just searching maps. What has been everyone's experience with scouting in the spring or summer, specifically, if you see elk then does it have any bearing on their location in September? I am assuming you get quite a bit of movement throughout the year but I just wanted to see what yall thought. I would have to make a big trip out of this, as I'm on the east coast, so I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons.
