Remember to think outside the box a little. This is all good information, and there are numerous books and articles to read, just remember that elk don't know this is what they are "supposed" to be doing. Like any animal, they will adapt to any situation, and some times that means doing the opposite of what the books say they are going to do. I've been hunting the same drainage for a few years now, and for the last two years while scouting we've found a bull that for some reason beds down at the bottom of the hillside while all the other elk we find go up high, just like they are "supposed" to do. This bull finds an open spot about 100 to 200 yard from the creek and just stops while the others keep going (not that it makes him any easier to hunt). I've still got a lot to learn about elk hunting myself, just an observation
