Hey Guys,
I was out in Eastern Oregon this past weekend scouting a new spot in a unit I have hunted for the past 3 years. We bumped a herd of about 50 elk (mostly cows with 2 or 3 smaller bulls). My question is do you find in your past experience that elk seem to stay in the same general area in summer all the way into the fall? Or do you think that by the time September rolls around they have moved off into other areas? That was the biggest herd of elk I have seen in that unit up to this point. The other spot I hunt I have seen elk but never that many all herded up. I will be going back hopefully 2 more times before season starts to continue to scout and formulate a plan for the upcoming season. Just wondering if you locate elk this early in the summer, what are the chances they stick around the same area all the way up until season.
