I went for elk with a bow this year purely so i could experience hunting the rut. I did not tag out however, so I am wondering, how you you guys hunt late season for elk with a bow? I am hunting western washington in a unit where its legal to take a cow or a 3pt min bull.
I have only truck scouted the unit a few times and located some animals while doing that. I saw them pretty consistantly in one or 2 areas from the road and am thinking of how to get to those places on foot. I certainly cant get at them from where i originally spotted the animals because they would see me coming across from the other side of the cuts 1/2 mile away. I was thinking just creep through the timber to get to the spots i saw them come out at and sit 50 yards inside the timber from where i would see them in the cuts. That may put me in their travel rout too the food or it may allow me to glass the edge of the cut from a place better suited to start a stalk from.
No matter what. I cant wait to get out there.
