If it's anything like last year the first two days are the most important. Try and locate him the night before, then be down wind of him first thing. Opening day of elk! Stay positive and put in work. Keep your powder dry and the wind in you're face.

If I hear one bugle I'll close the distance to see if I can pluck one of his cows from under him. Other than that, just get out there and hunt! Good Luck!

That's the plan!
