RE: finding elk
No. These are early season techniques. Late season gets more involved with pressure and weather variables. I don' t care for late season elk hunting. If the weather' s not too bad, the bulls will stay up high and you can still hunt without dodging ATVs an' hoards of blaze orange. But, the bulls will be wary an' you' re better off glassin' them up an' stalking them. Cows get easier in the late season and bulls get harder, as a general rule. In the early season, you gotta find all the cows to find one. They also move down sooner with less snow. I prefer to hunt cows after the herds break up.
