I’m taking a handful of new hunters to osoyoos for a week in mid-October. We hunted the area between Conkle Lake and Westbridge and south to Johnstone creek park this spring. Deer everywhere, some moose and I even walked up on a cougar in the bush, something I’ve never had happen before. Ruined his stalk on a grouse, didn’t look too happy with me.

Anyways, my question is if we put a few whitetails down is it worth spending some time looking for elk in the general area? Or somewhere nearby that’s not Christian valley?
