[QUOTE="1snowcat, post: 2528052, member: 23088"] Depends on how much pressure they see opening day, if nobody patterns them prior to opening day they won't move unless they want to... I'd recommend scout 2 days before season, hope you find them early light or sunset, and keep watching until you can shoot, other hunters will do the same, so it will be a crap shoot soon as season opens... but, remember it's a huge area, lots of places to look, literally they will appear and disappear in the sage brush and drainages.. remember early mornings and evenings they move most.. If they get shot at they will likely move quite a ways its open country. I suggest you are good at shooting distance, and have good glass to spot with... you can spend hours looking around with glass and a high vantage point. Long before you have to start hiking. Seems they like shade during the day and water sources so remember that you are hunting a desert. I regularly see ELK, Deer, and Antelope in these areas. You can see for miles from a hill. You have drawn a great area take it all in and don't shoot a little ELK there are GREAT elk in this area... Potential to shoot a 300" plus bull I'd say is likely!
