I know, I roll my eyes as well whenever I hear this statement/advice. Elk live at all elevations.
I was glassing for bear around 7,000 feet this weekend in the scrub oak. Didn’t see any bears, but sure saw lots of elk out in the scrub oak at 7,000 feet all the while a 13,000 foot peak, a few 12ers and an endless amount of alpine terrain loomed just 3 miles behind them. It was hot, too, and they were out feeding until 9:30 in the morning and up and at it again by 4:30. Not an elk hunter anywhere around.
