Elk Hunting How far down the game trail you go

[bruce44]

Thanks for the response everyone. I'm glad to hear that 4 years isnt that long to not bag an elk. Im just getting tired of hearing everyone around me getting something every year. I live in fort st john so there are a lot of guys who are experience but refuse to take me out and show me the ropes.

I've tried looking for places to glass but I dont have a quad. The only place I can glass from are cut blocks near logging roads. I usually find a fresh cut block, up high near logging roads, glass from there to find glassing spots further in the bush. I have never seen any elk when I glass though. Perhaps it might be because I've only glassed at noon or later.

I'll start scouting in the summer next year. Right now I'm going in blind everywhere I go.
I also go on day hunts and drive 1 hour home once it gets dark. Maybe I need to start planning an actual camping trip and dedicate some good time scouting and hunting.
