I just looked at GMU 22 on-line. I can't be sure, but it looks like a low elevation unit. Up until mid-October and later, elk will be up high, say above 10,000 feet elevation. If your season is an early season and your GMU is a low elevation unit, there may be zero elk there during your season. Of course, maybe you have a late season permit.

Even then, however, low elevations tend to be privately owned and rarely be public land. You would have to have a place you had permission to hunt.

So, to provide more guidance and advice provide more information. What season have you secured a permit for? Are you planning to hunt public land or private land? Do you have permission if it is private land?
