Title: Combo moose and elk?
Post by: finnman on August 27, 2008, 01:43:38 PM: My wife will be hunting moose in the Huckleberry on Oct. 1st. If we are not successful we will back at the end of Oct. I noticed that the unit is open for any elk starting Oct. 25th, are there any elk in this unit worth spending time to look for?
Just curious,
