Has anyone hunted GMU 117 for elk?

I"m muzzleloading this year and have a cow tag and it's any bull during regular season during october 3-11. Just trying to get any help I can.

I'd make tons of scouting trips up there. Elk are hard to find especially if you don't know the area.

I have hunted 3 times there for elk once rifle and twice with a ML and didn't see any elk in the daylight, we saw a cow cross the road in front of us after shooting light.There's sign of elk its just a thick area. Good luck and keep us posted.

I've hunted there for whitetails. but haven't seen many elk, but I know they're there.

Search the site! Look for the "Don't ask for info and leave post" that should help you.

the people that know the n.e. elk have not been very willing to spew info on the web...thats for sure.
good luck.

welcome to the site by the way. you might consider hitting the intro's thread and introduce yourself.
tough to get info on some of the hardest elk to find in this state on your first ever post.

there are a good number of elk, but if you look at the harvest reports you will see that next to none get killed. the elk that get killed are shot by the same groups of guys, once you know the areas to find NE elk you really don't want to share it with the world. I would suggest calling dana base and doing some recon missions.

Thanks High Country! I understand not letting info out. I'm working on getting permission for some private land. Who is dana base?

tisk tisk.  That's no way to treat newbies.  If we did that with everyone with 5 or less posts we'd never see an increase in members.

Sorry but I PM'd a guy with some great info that only had a few posts. He never repied, I Pm'd him again, No reply. and he never came back to the site to contribute. I'll help anyone but there has to be some give and take. Rhino I'm still learning that part of the state sorry I can't help. yet.

No problem tmike i realize i'm new. Im barely figuring this whole forum thing out. I don't even know what a PM is. I ran across this site on accident didn't even know there was such a site as this. Hope i can contribute somehow. I don't expect anyone to give out their honey hole but every bit of info  and encouragement helps

[tmike]

Look at the top of your screen by My messages, there should be something there.

Think it's tough to get info in 117.   Try it in 204

dana base and steve zender are the bios for that area. dana lives right there. you have to pry info out of them, but they will spill it......I better shut up now

Thanks high country!
