I have been hunting Arkansas public property for whitetail of 20 years. Finally was able to get a nice one a couple years ago. I have been wanting to go elk hunting for a while and things are working that this year is a go.
This will be my first elk hunt experience. First part of the trip will be mostly solo hunting September 13-18th with plans to fly my 17 year old son to be out there the 18th-22nd
really just looking to spend some time out there and have a good time.
If we can hear some elk off in the distance that would not be a bad trip experience for me. If we get lucky to work a bull even better.
Looking for some general advice on a few units
looking at units 82, 681, or 68 to start
looks like 82 could be a tough mountain to trek in but it seams to have a lot of BLM land around the base and past elk harvest numbers look good
681 looks to be a little more climber friendly with more timber areas.
for the ones that are familiar with the area would this be a good area to start the trip with?
Or would unit 21. 22. 11 area be a better area to go with?
just looking for general advice of the areas not GPS locations
