YOUR UTAH ELK HUNT PLAN

Early Rifle OTC ELk | South Slope Yellowstone Unit

Consider These Tactics:

  • Hike in the dark to get to glassing knobs on time

  • Key in on steepest country for elk herds that have been pressured

  • Time storms for good glassing and elk movement

Important Notes:

  • These units can be busy

  • Big optics are highly recommended

  • Use hunter pressure to your advantage
