I find that most topics focus on ancillary aspects of elk hunting (hunting gear often times) and not on the hunting itself. How about sharing some good advice about hunting the elk, leaving equipment issues out of it. I've hunted elk 3 times and taken two bulls. I know what boots to wear, what gun to shoot, how to train physically. What I still hunger to know more about is the art of finding the elk. Expert elk hunters, share your elk finding knowledge! Note, I'm not asking for the revelation of any honey holes but rather principles of finding elk. How would you find elk if you were transported to a different elk hunting territory that you had never hunted before, for example. If your advice is to scout, then how do you scout? Surely you don't cover all the ground, you select some of the ground to examine that you think most likely to contain elk. What is the recipe of this more promising ground?
