Hey Everyone,
I know that there are some other threads on this and I have been reading like crazy. I was hoping to get some newer information cause all the threads I was reading were from 2008-2014. I went ahead and ordered a land map for the region so I can start looking into the public land and accessibility. I would like to be able to make contact with some private land owners but i'm still trying to figure out the best way to do so.
The plan so far is to google earth the whole area for hours and hours to find the best areas I can get into with the truck to set up a camp. I am not afraid to hike all day if the snow is too deep for the truck. I have had recommendations that I should be sourcing a snowmobile but that is very doubtful.
My understanding is to go to the coldest snowiest area possible and put yourself in the worst conditions and you will see the elk, is this true?
Our plan is to go December 1st and come back on the 10th but I am concerned the weather will not be cold enough.
If anyone can give me any input it would be greatly appreciated, I have never hunted this area and I am trying to exhaust all avenues for information. I respect all the time and effort that the members on this site put in and even the chance to ask for guidance is a great privilege.
Thanks,
Blake
