RayGonzales Report post Posted October 24, 2015 It's day two and looking for any pointers on where we might encounter elk. We hunted around and above Bismarck Lake yesterday with no success. Not looking for handouts but any tips would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoghntr Report post Posted October 26, 2015 I was there 3rd week and they were high! I never even saw elk but the higher you hike the fresher the sign but not even a bed at 9500 foot!. Not even a track at ground zero. Good luck! You will probably never put it on your application again but if able to hike high and make bunch of pack out trips GO HIGH and KILL SMALL!

mulie hunter Report post Posted October 26, 2015 I got my elk last night and my buddy got his this morning. They are high, but we got ours about 8000 feet. The peaks hunt is a tough hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mpriest Report post Posted October 26, 2015 We went three for three this year but had to work for them. That hunt is getting tougher and tougher 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayGonzales Report post Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks guys, we moved our hunt to the Kachina Wilderness and have spotted a couple at 8500ft. Unfortunately they didn't give us a good shot. We will keep on it, two days left! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
