No better time to kill elk than when you find them . Be agressive

Elk aren't white tails. Don't worry about making noise.

Its easy to stay focused and positive on day 1- it's a little harder after several days and tens of miles. Lose your focus - lose opportunities.

Yup, I've seen trail cam pics of elk all around my stand site on the morning I decided to sleep in.

Sex, food, water, sleep and escape.  Not a lot more to it than that, so don't over think it.

If hunting the westside and leave your boots out over night...check for slugs before putting boots on!

You have to go where the elk are no matter how much it hurts.

Or how close to the road they are.  For some that might hurt even more! :chuckle:

Don't be afraid to bring 1 out on your back in many pieces. Be prepared to do so and if you get one close to the road enjoy it

An irritating young man with the back of a mule and the legs of an ox can be more valuable than a $1,000 scope and a $50,000 truck!
