Title: Novice Hunter looking for some guidance. GMU's 121, 113
Post by: PowderRage on December 24, 2020, 02:30:40 PM: Hello all. I just took up hunting a couple years ago and am looking for a little assistance in hunting elk. I have not had any success yet but the time I have spent in the woods has been awesome. I am definitely becoming addicted. So far I have only hunted elk during the general rifle season in units 121 and 113. I am not asking for anyone's secret spots or anything like that, I am just looking a bit of guidance. If you are familiar with hunting elk in those units I am just wondering if I could PM you a couple screenshots of areas I have hunted and maybe you could just let me know if I should continue hunting and learning the area or if I am wasting my time and should move on to a different area.

Gets you out year round, learning the country and what calls it home.

Yeah I have definitely noticed. I will keep up the scouting and hope for the best. I just got my first trail cam so can't wait to put that bad boy to use.
