Super tough hunt. I had the rifle tag last year and didn't see a bull during the season and I hunted about half the season. There are some great bulls out there. Do not pass on anything with horns. The north units have the most elk.

I would concentrate on the NW corner: training area 16. I saw elk in there several times last year.

Bullblaster my dad and another guy took 2 bulls from the same herd over fairly close to ryegrass a few years back on the muzzy hunt, both ended up scoring over 300. My dad said the biggest one was in the middle of the herd and didn't offer a shot. So to you and the OP there are bulls to be had out there. Oh and btw leave one for my grandpa please he drew the disabled any bull tag from oct 12th-31st

You have to go down well before the season watch a video and get all your guns checked in at the police station tgere

No more video.  the vhs died so they just said screw it.  Now all you do is pay your ten bucks and sign on the line.

You have to wear Orange on the fire center, all the time.

You have to wear orange because the master hunters are also hunting cows from sept thru dec

Thanks for the info, will definitely be researching all the available Intel I can get my hands on.

You're a better man than me!!

Archery elk on the Alkali seems like a huge challenge.   It's just so open and there aren't a ton of elk.

I've played around there quite a bit.    It's some fun country, but I rarely see elk.   I'm sure guys with more recent intel will share the boundary units where elk are being seen.

Best of luck!

Dan

Ive been out there. Didn't see anything but saw fresh tracks in the southern units. They were definitely Bull tracks. Good luck and watch out for snakes
