Just shoot one off the highway. Saw 40 this morning during shooting light and 6 more during the day today in the bethel unit.

You hanging around my house looking for elk?   ;)

Nope. I don't drive that blue truck.

With just a couple  days away where  do you find cows on bethel? Haven't seen  any yet any help out there....

Please disregard the unnecessary comments. Sadly some people jump at any opportunity to bash someone.

I've never hunted the unit but I can help you. If you prefer to road hunt then stop and use your optics a lot, glass every distant ridge and hillside, when you see elk then go after them. You can be just as successful by glassing from the road as hiking over the mountain.

If you prefer to hike to hunt then do as someone else suggested, get a map of the area and study it, hike into the remote spots and out of the way locations, those are a natural get-away for elk to escape hunting pressure. Elk are survivors, they find where to go to escape hunting pressure! Good Luck!  :tup:

To the OP:

It really is a solid elk unit.

If you wander in, start checking dirt roads for fresh elk tracks.   It won't take long.  there are plenty.

good luck.

I had a Cow tag in there many years ago, about 20 and was hard pressed to find an Cow.  Walked all over in the 4 days the tag was open (if I remember correctly).  The last hour of the last day, I missed one.  Keep at it.

Right now, I would look on the edges of a north slope.....

Yeah, when I hear a GetSum member say it's not that far... :bdid:  double what you hear and that's pretty close, except blrman,  triple what he says because he's part goat himself. :chuckle:
