Any one? I just was hope-n any elk doesn't mean no elk! also if I read this right white tale is also open same time?
-
Where the elk are, 99.5 percent private land. That's where the problem lies.
-
:yeah: I live in gmu 130 and dont have anywhere to elk hunt here. Not alot of elk either. I'd look elsewhere.
-
Yeah not my first choice for an any elk unit. Reasons have been stated above. Private land and not a lot of elk.
-
Well the not alot of elk isnt really true lol for the amount of suitable habitat, there are alot of elk. he main problem is they are 99.9% all on private. And permission on land where they reliably frequent is non existant. You can gain some permission in areas they may wonder on there circle they run but its gona be minimal.

Find food and find cover.....get between them. The 130 elk may cross several landowners ground in a single day. Good luck on permission......you are gonna need it.

The elk are there. Lived there for years. The land we hunt has them cross all the time. Seen a herd once with over 200 head and exactly 26 branched antler bulls. All during muzzy season. That said, ranchers don't like giving out permission to hunt. Sorry. :sry:
-
All private, gotta know someone...there is ALOT of elk! it averages 200 elk harvested a year..one of the best units in the eastern part of the state for OTC
-
getting permission is like winning the lottery, actually winning the lottery might be better odds. more like 99.9.99.99 percent private. because of trespassers and poaching its hard to get deer permission, but those guys like their elk. you will not get permission.

I stand corrected I thought this was the Roosevelt unit 133. Check the areas that are blm land, fish trap, rock lake etc. I've seen elk out there from time to time.
-
Its not that hard..a buddy of mine went out last year and got permission on 2 places and they shot their elk
