Re: Elk Hunting How far down the game trail you go

What is ideal elk habitat? What are the key ingredients that make up that habitat?
Answer those questions and have a full understanding of them and you are well on your way to finding elk easier.
So many hunters burn a lot of boot leather walking around like blind mice looking for elk.
Perhaps try this approach.....
* Learn to identify prime elk habitat.
* Hunt for said habitat.
* Factor in that elk get along with pressure like oil and water so the more isolated the habitat the better.
I can say from experience the isolated areas (mountainous areas in this case) that contain slides, saddles, rips of spruce and considerable water are what elk thrive in if they are not pressured.
Remember, elk travel in herds, they weigh up to to 800 lbs so they will leave a lot of sign if living in an area.
