[QUOTE="Wheeler co, post: 1761666, member: 104429"] Hunting elk for 60 years, a few things I’ve learned. Most of that time hunting Roosevelt’s on the coast. They are born and die probably within a 5 mile area. Last 20 years, bro and I bought a ranch in E OR, and started hunting RM elk. Had to learn elk hunting all over again. RM are more like caribou. They can move 20 miles overnight. A thing that works on both is know where they are going to go when chased, and be there to intercept them. Once you spook a big bull, you won’t see him again, till next season. We built a small hunting cabin in a saddle, 30 yds from a 4 way elk crossing, thinking we could shoot them out the window in our old age. Big mistake. Elk no longer use that crossing, and bypass by a wide margin. They will come down to eat on a haystack under your window in civilization, but build a cabin in THEIR territory...and they’re outa’ there. [/QUOTE]
