How bout the feeding station..??
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Oak Creek would be your best bet.  I know there is no snow driving them down yet, so who knows.  I was up at LT Murray and there were some tracks, but no animals... 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Thanks.  I know the gates are suppose to be closed and I was hoping to stay away from the feed stations so we can hike around a little bit.

This is the most ingenious way to ask for a honey hole I've ever seen.








J/K :chuckle:  Wish I could help.  I don't know the area though.

LoL...no not looking for honey holes cuz the elk aren't in the same areas now as hunting season... Plus I have got my holes but alot of it is closed to humans now or the gates are closed making it a super long walk to get into the areas.  Anyways I think we are going to head up the wenas area to start hopefully I will have some pics for u soon.

Wenas is a good area but the gates might be locked by now leading in the observatory rd, audubon rd? Not sure but usually bout mid december.

The gates lock going into the Wenas Dec. 5.  Great place to go for a walk and see some elk not standing on hay bales during the winter, lots of ground to cover and lots of wildlife.
