Because there are Elk in this unit! The reason the harvest is so low is because of the terrain. Not a large percentage of hunters have the physical conditioning or determinations to go deep into the backcountry and up multiple contour lines with the weight of the gear required to sustain them for the amount of time it takes to get into prime elk habitat. Most hunters won't venture further than 5 miles from a logging road. Do your recon (topo maps, google earth, etc..) there are all kinds of hidden wallows, meadows, and water in GMU 113...much of which is located in terrain that is tough to get to. I have saved my days off and plan on spending the whole 2 weeks of early archery season in that area. I've done the recon from where I'm stationed here in California and have the grid coordinates marked on my map for over 20 wallows, meadows, or water sources which are way off the beaten path, I spent countless hours on google earth to locate them. Map / terrain study and analysis, tough physical conditioning, daily practice with the bow, and some time invested in the area...there is no reason you shouldn't have the chance at an elk in 113. Some planning and preparation is all it takes.
