Hey guys,
Just wanted to see what's the tactics guys are using to consistently kill bulls, now it's understood knowing the area's year after year you get to know where they are/travel/head when pressure starts. I am interested to see what guys feel really help when moving to new country...we will be heading into steeper terrain where each drainage is about 4 miles long and 800-1400 yards wide. If you know what gives you the advantage in these circumstances I would love to hear what's your perspective.
We live too far away to do any scouting, vacation time is just not there. We're planning to be mobile with horse's and mule's, start in a drainage first morning, hunt it all day and the next morning. If we don't see good sign or elk after the second morning move to the next drainage during the midday and start the process over again, each drain gets further away from foot travel access. All the Forest service and biologists are saying it's almost impossible to pack out on foot in anyone's right mind because of elevation is rugged and distance needed travelled...
Very interested and thankful to what you guys feel gives you the advantage and if you would have a different plan of attack given these situations.
Thanks,
Tyler
