[QUOTE="curtis, post: 687483, member: 4506"] I'm planning on doing my first ever DIY backpack elk hunt in the near future. I have been reading a lot on this topic (Backcoutry Bowhunting by Cameron Hanes) and I have a question I figured someone here could help me with. If I'm in the back country the elk call home, when I chose a location to set up my bivy sac campsite for the night, do I want to be down in the bottom of the valleys or up on top of the mountains? From what I'm reading, the elk bed down in the big timber during the day but feed up high at night. I would assume setting up camp down low would be the best so I don't spook the elk at night while they are roaming and feeding. This would also put me in a better ambush spot for the morning hunt, since the elk would be moving down the mountain towards me in the morning to bed. Does this sound right to you experienced elk hunters? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Curtis [/QUOTE]
