Elk Paradise!

Postby mandrroofing » 06 19, 2014 •  [Post 1]

Hello, I got to thinking and planning for this upcoming fall and was wondering if any of you guys have areas that hold all of the time? Year round?I don't mean a lot of elk maybe more elk at times than others. I would consider this elk Paradise!

:lol: :lol: My area holds elk all year long
Sage, cheet grass and cactus. Nobody lives in the area for good reason,.. it is far from what most would describe as paradise
My first hunt woke to 22 degrees, at 6 Pm it was 88
Yep elk paradise

Yes. Most cows bail out during winter in the best interest of their calves but there are still some around. Bulls drop to lower elevations but not by much. I don't hunt any extreme elevations. 6000 to 8000 ft max.

Snow pushes the deer and elk out of the country I hunt, usually by early to mid December.

The only place in my area that holds elk most of the time is my freezer.
