Title: In need of a kind soul with knowledge of GMU 501
Post by: DoubleJ on April 26, 2011, 01:08:09 PM: If you have knowledge of GMU 501, please PM me. I have a couple of spots scouted out on google maps but I am lacking the gas to actually get there and scout very much in person. If you can help, let me know.

Thanks

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on April 26, 2011, 01:30:56 PM: This could be kind of interesting, I see Elk in there in few places, but lots of old tracks.
even found sheds in places I was told the Elk don't go, see them mostly hanging on or near private land, but ran into a couple herds on DNR....
I live in unit, but hunt elsewhere because it gets pounded, 3pt or antlerless for ALL user groups..

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on April 26, 2011, 01:48:21 PM: DNR opens the gates for Muzzleloader and that pretty much pushes the elk around quite a bit, onto or behind private land.
pretty hard hunting, ""or antlerless" kicker" isn't really as good as it sounds, but it does help, if you can actually find the elk.
