Title: Another elk hunting question... JACK FIRS???
Post by: mmullins on August 13, 2010, 08:43:15 PM: My elk spot has a good amount of jack firs, I know i can't chace elk in there. But does anyone have any tactics on getting elk out of there or just wait and hope they come out near you. There is no good way of looking into the firs but i there are a ton of trails leading in and out with old timber and clear cuts near by.
