I’m planning my first elk hunt this fall. I am applying to draw tags in several different states, but don’t expect to draw as I have no points yet. So in the likely event I don’t draw, I will probably do an otc hunt in Colorado. I plan to backpack in a few miles off the trail and camp for a week and pack back out. That being said, when I start studying the maps of the different units, what am I looking for? How do I translate the areas on the maps that may hold elk? I hope to get up there this summer to do some scouting, but I feel like I need a plan before I even do that. Is there a resource y’all would reccomend to help me learn a little bit before throwing myself into the fire? I kind of understand whitetail deer movement, but in Texas we just put up a corn feeder and make the deer come to us. Spotting and stalking in the mountains is completely foreign to me. Anyway, I’d appreciate an help y’all could give me to put me on the right path in my research.
