Wow! This was my first time on this site. I thought I would simply reach out to some of the die hard Archery and Muzzleloader hunters to see if they would give up a few spots, which they had gotten in to the elk. I know the area, and I know where the elk tend to be at year after year. I simply thought I would ask. When I read through this site, I noticed alot of people were asking the same questions. Usually starting with "I have never hunted XYZ area, but I drew a special hunt permit". "Where do I go to find animals?" Most everyone replied positively and were giving SUPRISINGLY specific roads, areas, etc. to hunt. Since I had not seen anything promissing I thought I would reach out and try and narrow my search.
And for all the smart ass people- I understand how you might intrpret it as a stupid question, but understand that if you replied with an area that was not suitable for an older hunter (66 year old) because I did not give you specifics, then you are wasting your time. You can't tell me that their are not easier areas to hunt than others, which you can still be successful. I'm simply trying to narrow my search to an area that is easier to access (hunt) then others, which still has a fair amount of elk in it. Maybe now you will understand.
