Elk on hunting at least on the Westside, and during rifle can be a bit more combative, and you better come in shape. For deer, find a dandy clear cut 2 hours before daylight and sit on it and glass the heck out of it. Elk, you better be ready to put some miles through the brush and up and down the hills after opening morning
