Spring Scouting

[MountainMan83]

Where I live in Colorado elk are consistently migrating through our area from September-October for the rut, and again in April-May for calving season. Their migration patterns make me think that scouting in May would be a good time to learn where they may also be in October. I plan on scouting in October as well but looking to learn a new area and considering heading out in May this year, and curious if I will see elk in similar locations that they will also be in October. Does applying this logic from what I have learned from local elk patterns also apply to other areas?

I’m not too sure about that. May is early. Elk are definitely relocating. In October I find they are where they’ve been for several months and nowhere near early migration routes.
