There are several different methods on hunting the Rocky Mountain Elk. My website goes over the basics and has good information, the answer to finding a good honney hole is as follows. First find an area that has no hunting pressure, and steep grade where elk can dissapear quikly. Look at a map and simply know where the pressure areas are and look for the least presured spot it will be the furthest from trails and hard to get to. If there is elk in the area you hunt every year then learn where they are hiding like I said know one has the guts to go in that far or the want.
