Knowing where the elk are going to be is the hardest part. Hunting with my friends in Wyoming last week we put a lot of miles on our boots looking for elk in places that looked very promising to us, but evidently not to the elk. Water is a big deal to elk, more so than deer for sure so make sure you are in an area that has water sources. Elk generally leave plenty of sign that they've been there so if you find fresh sign you know you are on the right track, then you just have to figure out how to be there are the right time.

I doubt anyone is going to give up their honey hole to someone on the internet though!
