SKILLS & EXPECTATIONS

Backcountry Hunter Wanting A Bull Elk

Hunt area 47 has had a mid-winter elk count near 100 elk for the last few years. That means you will have to use your glass to find the few elk who live here. Even if they are on private land when you find them, watching them multiple days in a row will likely put them in the position to take a bull that wanders into accessible lands. This hunt is going to take a lot of long-range glassing and patience to find success, but it can be done.

Trust your glass. Patience is key.
