I am going to be under the gun so to speak for my first elk hunt. A buddy has some experience in the area but he plans on scouting about a day and a half before season opens. Me? I think I am going to get acclimated to the air and surroundings, move slow and do some glassing. I would rather do my scouting while hunting since we live too far away and don't have the time to do any pre-season scouting in advance.
