[QUOTE="smchop, post: 563306, member: 36776"] That was a problem I had this go around was the dark timber and shooting lanes through the aspens. I only saw one bull, but couldn't get on it though. I had one chance and the only shot I had was at his *** or his nose! Had I gotten a shot I would have had no choice but to quarter and pack. I really like the idea of a still hunt, not because I am afraid to put in the work, man I hiked my *** off this go around. So glassing an area I get, maybe I am hunting the wrong area for the hunting I want to do. Seems no matter on the map I picked it was all about finding a shooting lane even if I came across elk. It seemed the weather this year was ok, but warm in the afternoons. The snow didnt seem to help except for deer. It seems everything was bedded down. So if I were to scout a new unit would you look for higher clearings or lower clearing? Not saying I may not be able to find that where I am at, but havent ran across it yet. the meadows we were in seemed to have little traffic. [/QUOTE]
