[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1067608, member: 33822"] Find a place that has a combination of timber and aspen forests (or gamble oaks). The elk love the heavy timber for shelter, but the canopy is too dense to grow any food on the ground... so they have to move through the aspens and oaks for food. Once you find areas like that try and find heavily traveled game trails and look for fresh sign. And I'm talking green-brown slimy fresh. Then you know elk have been there within a few hours at most. So you've already got the concentration areas, go however far off a road you want to go, and then look for areas where timber meets aspens/oaks. If you look carefully you can usually figure all that out right from your computer. Although the game trials and fresh sign are a little harder to see from a satellite pic. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
