Title: Mtn view cow elk rifle tag
Post by: AlpineMuley on June 19, 2020, 09:28:54 PM: My buddy and I drew cow elk tags for Mtn view. We plan to head out for a scouting trip this summer. I guessing the majority of the bulls would be higher in the unit, although well below the roads. And the cows would be much closer to the bottom? If you have any tips please share? I don’t hunt elk unless I get drawn so I don’t plan on hunting this unit again for a long time.

Unit 172 Mtn view
Look at the hunt area. They call it mtn view but the hunt area is elk area is 1013.

Everything he talks about is not open for this cow tag

Cottonwood creek below middle ridge.
