Ive been out scouting and have seen lots of elk over by chevelon canyon and woods canyon. Are there still gong to be elk in those areas come the hunt or are they going to have moved down to the northern part of the unit and are there year round populations in the northern parts of the unit?

If there’s no snow, you’ll find elk throughout the unit.  They’ll just be in places most wont go as they recover from the rut. 

If heavy snows hit early, your best bet will be in the transition country. Bit early to plan, but I think the weather will determine you strategy. I’ve seen 2 foot of snow up at Woods Canyon around Thanksgiving. I’ve also seen dry, warm hunts. Every year is different.

Yes there are elk down low all year.   And like forlorn stated the bigger bulls will be where most wont go and that could be from woods canyon lake all the way to Winslow.

Go north grasshopper!  We don't hunt elk in pine trees.
