There are really no tips alot of boot leather. There are places that these elk will be every year. Its taken me a betterpart of 20 years to find these honey holes. These elk bugle, but not from places they can be heard for miles away. The timber is dense and bugles don't travel far u better be on them. My observations is this Muzzy season is catching the end of the rut, talking this time of year is sporadic.  I also notice alot is the herd bulls are already gone from the herd and the bulls u hear talking. Are the rag horns.

There's a big difference in getting into elk and actually getting a shot. I am into elk daily up there and sometimes will go a season or 3 before I get a shot.  Just this season alone I had elk in range and can't see them!

Yes, I was bugling and cow calling.  I have hunted elk in the Idaho Panhandle in the past and had no problem locating them and calling them in.  I got a decent bull last year.  Idaho, however, is expensive.  I thought I would try P.O. County this year, but it was a whole different world.

I have heard of Sherman Creek Outfitters, but I am sure I cannot afford them.  Thanks for the replies guys.

Its sort of the secret that you won't get.  Essentially unless you find someone who is family or just decides they don't want to hunt anymore.   Its a very well kept secret, and the information is hard to come by thus when someone FINALLY figures it out, they won't tell.  Its nothing personal.

Yes, I understand how that works Bone.  I have several honey holes myself for deer in WA and elk in ID.  I was just looking for a general area to get started.  I have no problem doing the leg work and finding them once I have a general area to start with.  That is how I found my main honey hole in ID.  Someone just gave me a basic area, and I spent some time roaming the hills finding them.

All I know about elk hunting in Northeast Washington is that Teddy Roosevelt gave it a go way back when, found the country to be inhospitable and was not very successful.  Does that help? :)

I will give you a honey hole in ne wa that has been good to Me in the past if you give me one in Idaho.  I am heading over tomorrow for the rifle season and could use another spot to check ; ). Pm me if your game.  I have trail cam pics to prove there are elk.

It is.  I believe he was also after cariboo in that area.  Of course, at that time everyone shot anything and everything they could get a bullet in, Roosevelt included.

Good thing he started getting conservation minded before he left us or the puny herds of game animals at that time that we hunt today in much larger numbers might not be here.
