I have to agree to this statement .......I hunt the same area each and every year, for both deer and elk..........it's about 2 sq.miles public land, all sage brush fairly flat about 3/4,000 ft level,,, have never been more that maybe 3/4 of a mile from a road can normally see camp,,,but we are in the area all the time, whether its to camp, fish or maybe target practice!!! we always see animals of one type or another!!! LOL!!!
I have taken 14 elk out of this area....because I know where the elk are and where they gonna go if they get pushed, and how to get there before them or at least head them off!!!!
