So i was out in the Fall River unit last week deer hunting and scouting for elk.. So i come across a herd of elk crossing the road, and i go back there on the opening day of elk. Nothing :bash:. As I am leaving i catch them heading into a clear cut. Just at dark. No shot.. So now i got half their pattern down. Talked to a buddy theres a 6x6 in the herd. He missed when he took his shot. Do you think they are in the area still or should i look somewhere else. I plan on hitting the woods hard tomorrow. Should i start where i have seen this herd? Would his shooting ruin it for me? :dunno:

They may be there but with a few days head start they could be in another county. That said, I would start where I last saw elk if I did not know where they were.

There's only one way to find out.

:yeah: Sometimes I think to much when I'm hunting. I would deffiantly do the same, if I don't know where they are. Good luck

Go right in too that timber nice And slow where u seen them last....if they were not pushed they could stay there for weeks....I've seen a herd stay in an area 500sq yards for several weeks...if they are not there get on the freshest sign and start tracking
-
No dice today be back at it friday
-
Any fresh sign down there?
-
If they get to running and especially after being shot at that might be the last you see of them in that county
-
Any fresh sign down there?
Everywhere!!!
-
If they were not pressured to leave there still around there
-
Man these elk are driving me crazy... I have done everything, walked the roads all through the place, been in the timber, drove around the back and came in that way, cow called, bugled... :bash: :bash: :bash: So close but so far away!!!
-
Where's he at I'll go find him for you :chuckle:

Get away from the roads. Pressured elk(read all elk after pretty much all the hunting seasons) will not likely hang arounds the roads.
