I’d agree on that thought.
It’s of elky looking spots and lots that don’t look elky,
both have pockets of elk in them.
Im sure the locals would agree.

Most areas that had elk still have some elk but the numbers are nowhere near what they used to be . There is bulls to be found but it's tougher

Perhaps you meant “Kootenay”? Might be elk in the Bull River/Galbraith Creek area. Thinking hard about heading back there this fall.

Make your own luck!
That ship has sailed a number of yrs ago. The population was reduced from roughly 20000 elk to about 5000. That is a big difference! I moved away a while back but friends are having a tough go. I would consider trying the peace country instead.Originally Posted by ratherbefishin

I'm a kootenay resident but by no means an experienced or skilled elk hunter. Been skunked 3 years straight. Some guys who I would consider extremely good / consistent and always on bulls aren't getting into them or seeing them last season. Lots of rumors ofkcal guides going like 1 in 10 or 12 clients closing the deal on elk. It's a Tuff go out here man.
