[QUOTE="gnhnt2day, post: 384654, member: 24696"] That can be a hard area to hunt that time of year if you are not familiar with the area. You will find many hunters along "control road" and set up at water holes but stay lower lower near the running river and streams. Grab a spotting scope and sit tight on high ridges. You will be surprised how many hunters will spook the elk out for you. Hard scabble mesa is a good area but many elk will be pushed out of these areas by that time because you will have had 3 elk hunts over and a rifle deer hunt as well. This area is traditionally very dry that time of year so use your head and think like a thirsty animal. I've hunted there many times and patience is the key, you will have all the payson boys out and about plus hunters. Focus on the North facing ridges after sun up as I have seen them hunker down and watch the people walk by. There are some big bulls north of "flowing springs". Good luck. [/QUOTE]
