This is a great hunt! I had the permit last year and was not able to fill my tag because I had some personal issues going on at the time and only spent two days out there. I was in Elk everyday. What I noticed in the unit they assigned me was that I had to get back at least 1.5 miles before I started seeing good sign. It is true they only allow the day before your season to scout, it is helpful but you need to have a mission to some places other wise you just wander around. You may take one person with you as a helper but they may not carry a firearm. You can't camp on Turnbull so if you live far away get a hotel in Cheney or something. It was a great hunt and the Elk really did not seem pressured at all when I was out there and I did not see anyone else. In my area they used the swamps as an escape route. Look for them in the coulees and places that you can look down into the area and around the aspens. Have a blast and good luck!
