I'm going to venture outside of my home state and try a 3rd season tag next year. As a disclaimer I have read through I believe all the previous posts about 3rd season elk and I am not looking for units or anything specific. The area I am looking at is between 10K and 12K for elevation and all the e scouting articles talk about normal bedding habitat, feeding etc and avoiding steep slopes but watching videos a lot of the elk seem be on very steep slopes regardless of the time of year. I know the cliche that "elk are where you find them" but I'd love any tips or tricks on how to find elk in steep country post rut. I hunt in southern utah where we don't have such steep country and it's more open in my region. Elk numbers are very low and they seem to never bed on north facing slopes nor feed on south facing slopes so I understand they adapt. cliff notes version of the post is that I would love some helpful advice on locating elk in late season and steep terrain, I'm not looking for anyones honey holes and I understand that it takes a lot of work to find them.
