[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1422929, member: 99519"] Having just moved to this area 3 years ago this is my first foray into a mzldr elk hunt..with tips from guys I have met along the way giving me general areas to start looking... I started closer to the house as I didn't want to put a lot of driving time in as I am always on call for work... last winter we had seen some critters from the hwy about 30 miles south.. so I started there..first day saw some bulls up on private ground..so kept looking for cows..none spotted..while driving to a different area to search I ran into another hunter and bs'd with him for quite some time..kind of getting a general layout of who owned what to which road or fenceline...only two spots to access from the west side of the mountain..of about 5 miles of fenceline...so day ended no cows(no bulls allowed)...another guy that I have been talking with suggested heading west..so next day I went west..a couple tracks on a 150 mile road trip into migration areas...and flat tire in the middle of nowhere.... When I got back the guy texted me and said a buddy of his said to take a drive out down around to the east...if the elk aren't within view of the hwy they aren't off the mountain and there is no hunting above the fence line...above that fenceline belongs to the OWNER of the Utah Jazz(whomever he is..I don't watch basketball)...and he owns so & so to so & so..and back over the top to this other road... So to see all this area I took a drive the next day...it took me 2.5 hours to go around the lower section of this guys property line..all posted quite well..and he owned the other side of the road too...NO HUNTING...Miles and miles of mountainous area..the elk migration route...I asked a local game cop and he just shook his head.......no elk moving......not enough snow to push them off the ranch...try this other area...about 60 miles north...about 10 miles from my house..but 40 miles to get there by road....found some elk...mostly bulls...next day I went back and a snowmobile had rode right into the trees where the elk were staying...I finally found some 3 miles north..bulls... So any ways...that's what I learned this past fall looking for elk...where not to waste a bunch of time...from long time residents.... If you want more specific info pm me... [/QUOTE]
