Go to the extreme NE corner of the state.

Keep going.

Once in Alaska or Idaho you will find better hunting.

Get up there.  Look all over the place and finding any elk sign at all will be a win.  I'd say get some serious scouting in and then maybe do some searches on here combined with PMs.

North facing hillsides and logged areas are a start.

 :tup: good luck.  They are frustrating.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

LOL- yeah.... you're not going to get too much help with that. 

There are elk in almost every drainage up here, but there are not many and they are tough to find.  Find a gated road and start walking for them.

I have honestly seen more deer and moose than elk in that part of the state. They're there but I never see them

The majority of people hunting the NE for elk will not see an elk in an entire season and sometimes for a few years.

Yeah, to be frank, when people (not LEOs) ask me what I am hunting...I'll flat out lie and say bear.  It's not because I am a misanthrope and hate other hunters but that's how you turn a good spot into a zoo. 

A few weeks back, I found a matching set of elk sheds and while walking the road down to my rig, another truck came up the hill and I threw them in the bushes  :chuckle:

Subscribing to this thread so that way after you've spent money, time, and effort to figure out where they are you can 'share' the information with me. Thanks!   :)

 :chuckle: one thing I will say is that finding where they are is not even half the battle.  Maybe like 10% of it...much different from the other areas I've elk hunted in that respect.
