Elk Fence?

[floatinghat]

I have some friends who I hunted with last year, I scouted while hunting more to learn the layout last season.  The group is great, but don't like some of the area they hunt.  I am just willing to walk farther. Anyway, I noticed about 7-8 miles from camp there are significant elk fences.  I have never targeted areas with elk fence, any observations as to how deer behave around it?  It's a nasty 3 miles or so nd then another 4miles by bike to check it out (after a 6hr drive) so I won't get a chance to go back and check it out before hunting it. 

There are other areas that I might check out first, but this just looks sexy on maps.  No roads for a long way, deep canyon, water, north facing slopes......  question is an elk fence runs right through the middle





Any free time I will spend my scouting for my muzzle elk.

Where in the state is this elk fence?

more of a general question I would think they behave similar no matter where geographic location.  Target would be muleys.

Elk fences are there to keep the elk out of a specific area. There's several areas around the state with fencing as mentioned.

Just don't shoot one on the wrong side of the fence and you'll be fine.

Like any barricade, it can hurt your hunting or help it.

We hunted uplake Chelan for years at a place where the Mulies HAD to travel down and the back up the other side of a specific canyon in order to migrate. Higher in elevation they could not get around a huge long section of rock outcroppings and ledges. This worked to our advantage as we could focus a small section of the area- the area they could migrate through.

Thanks ice,  I was viewing it similar to rimrock.  But how to hunt the "breaks" or lack there off?
