I think sitting in one spot could be productive but I wouldn’t do it based on two bulls on a camera over the course of a full season last year. I would need to have proof of a lot more activity in an area than that.

I’ve done a lot of sitting and very rarely has it resulted in a dead animal. Last year a buck came out in the evening just like he was supposed to. That was one of the only times for me. I suppose it kinda worked for my Wyoming Bull last year, also.

But, the areas that I would want to sit are places I have seen lots of camera activity or found the elk lots of times before. A few areas, in particular, I know are really popular escape routes when the elk get pressured a little and I would probably hang out in those areas.

If I was going to sit, I’d probably put out bait of some kind. Not a super popular time of year for them to hit it but it would potentially help, a little!
