Ha, trust me I know the difference, but growing up on a beef farm, we did have a person shoot a Herford one year. So common sense in hunting is not necessarily common.
They do both but I would say it’s more in response to hunter presence rather than shooting. Unit 14 alone is over 210,000 acres and last year during 3rd season only 30 elk were harvested. (Only 13 of those were bulls - assuming you’re on the OTC 4 point bull or better only hunt.). So there is not near as much shooting as there is in eastern deer areas.Hey guys, I do appreciate the feedback, I get the newbie point, hard to give advice to anyone joining the club. with no credibility I am getting the point, walk though, cover ground, then do it 10X more when I think I have covered enough, until I find them. I am looking forward to getting out, and putting some dirt under my feet and seeing the country.
Last question then I will leave you all be. How touchy are elk to firearm discharge? White tails basically get herded across public and private land by shots going off. In some of the areas I have hunted you can actually plan on the animals movement by where others are shooting. I would assume Elk are similar, but such a large expanse of land, and cover it may be foolish to assume anything.. Do they tend to move or hunker down tighter when shots are going off?
Where you going to walk with the national forest closed?Hope it's going well for ya, got a 4th season cow tag in unit 18 which pretty much all burned up. Gonna be another interesting year walking around the woods with a gun "elk hunting". Ha ha ha
The USFS has been opening up forests this week. There may be some still closed but many have reopenedWhere you going to walk with the national forest closed?

I figured I was good since they didn't offer me a refund like they did with me 2nd season deer tag. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, will be calling CPW and NF tomorrow.Where you going to walk with the national forest closed?

I talked to someone today who said it was still closed. I personally haven't checked but hopefully it'll be a non issue for you.I figured I was good since they didn't offer me a refund like they did with me 2nd season deer tag.
