honestly unless there is snow and you permission on the right piece of ground that they are crossing every day to get to an alfalfa stack rifle season is hard.... september and early oct is your best bet since there are a handful of small herds moving around even all the way over to spangle and bulls will bounce around locating cows. the big boys with stay with the little migration and the cows and the young bulls will kick around a little bit more than normal

Like mentioned above the only way to really keep elk is winter and lotta feed available..Salt becomes less important to the elk day by day now..if there is no cows around come Sept U can gurantee that bull will be looking for a date

I dont see the cows making thier way over to my area they have to cross I-90 to get on to the land but I guess if the bull is here maybe someday the cows can swing by

Based on your description of distance to Silver and being south of I-90, I think I have a fairly good idea where you are at.  Salnave road shouldn't be too far west of you, and for what it's worth I see elk out there south of 90 between Granite and Salnave a decent amount of times each year (see them from I90).

I don't think they hang out there any longer than they do other places, but they seem to move through the area just like they do everywhere else out there
