learn the area as much as possible....before the hunt begins. Weather it be with topo. maps or scouting, or both. I think most of my elk success has been do to knowing the area and the tendencies of the elk in that area!

Keep a positive attitude.
Elk huntingis a mental game. Sometime I can hunt for a few days and not see a single elk. I am always hunting in good elk country. I keep my attitude positive & my mind focused. I know if Istay focused? I willhave elk in shooting range before long. I am in good physical condition. Being in good physical condition helps me with the mental side of elk hunting.
