    Late Season Unit 1

    Hello everyone, I am a first time DIY elk hunter. My father-in-law and I are heading out to Unit 1 for a late season bull hunt. I did not grow up hunting but have done a little over the past few years. All of my hunts have been DIY based on lots of reading and trial and error. We were able to spend the Thanksgiving weekend (Fri-Sun) scouting & glassing sun up to sun down but were unable to locate many elk. I was hoping that some of you would be gracious enough to share some advice about hunting late season elk in Unit 1 Arizona. Are most still up at higher elevations? Are bulls still generally sticking to secluded areas this long after the rut? Is it beneficial to still use calls occasionally? I have done quite a bit of research, but nothing beats picking the brains of an expert. Any advice/help you could give is much appreciated! John

    Late Season Unit 1

    Thanks everyone for your replies and input. We will definitely be spending some more time in a few canyons and glassing the Wallow burn areas. In regards to scouting nastier country, what should I generally be looking for to find a good spot to set up shop and watch elk move from their feed area to bed? I would think its best to catch the elk moving in the morning/evening than trying to pursue them through super nasty country? John
