Elk hunting Washington/oregon
Ok so I'm a new hunter. Learning a lot, so how do you hunt exactly? I plan on hunting deer and elk most to start and if I truly end up enjoying this activity I'll progress to other game. Any way in my head hunting is I wonder into the woods find some sign tracks for example follow the sign find the game shoot the game tada. In a nut shell. Is this a viable method lol or is it just my inexperience and not knowing talking.
That said what are some of the methods used? What's worked best for you? Break it down Barney style for me.
I know hunter typically go scout an area prior to hunting it. So what are you looking for besides the obvious. Is the scouting done during the off season. (For me that seems to be spring and summer idk if it's the same in a lot of places) or is that something better suited for the beginning of the season or just before ?
