learn the area as much as possible....before the hunt begins. Weather it be with topo. maps or scouting, or both. I think most of my elk success has been do to knowing the area and the tendencies of the elk in that area!

I'll 2nd, 3rd, whatever the being in shape. Elk country is tough country. You usually have no problem finding them if you get off the roads and back into the deep country.

Keep a positive attitude.
Elk huntingis a mental game. Sometime I can hunt for a few days and not see a single elk. I am always hunting in good elk country. I keep my attitude positive & my mind focused. I know if Istay focused? I willhave elk in shooting range before long. I am in good physical condition. Being in good physical condition helps me with the mental side of elk hunting.

The best advice I could give would be to learn to communicate with them.
