This pic is a little deceiving with regards to the actual size of the area that it covers. How tall are these mountains, where is water, what is the climate like here, what type of terrain is this (Colorado type mts. or Arizona type mts.). Lots of questions regarding where to actually hunt.

Assuming that this is oriented to the North and is in the larger mountains of Colorado??????? I would hunt the long ridge on the right side of the pic if it is warm. The elk will cross over that ridge in order to get on the NW facing slope to get out of the suns rays. Of course I can't see what is on the other side.

I would also want to hunt the large drainage that leads to the upper left corner of the pic. It appears there are plenty of cool areas for the elk to bed down and there should be good water coming down from the peaks. That one drainage accesses numerous smaller drainages that lead down into it and out to the main drainage.
