Is there any way to might give me some advice at my age i'm sure this will be my last elk hunt..Any thing will help.. Thanks. Tired Old Man!!

How has your hunt gone? I am unit 12 in just over 4 weeks.

I expect to have a land owner tag for fall of 2024. I would appreciate some discussion about your experience in unit 12? What worked for you? Glassing from Mesas into the flats? Was the amount of private discouraging? Are there animals off the private?

I’d make sure it was a unit wide landowner tag in case the elk aren’t on the ranch you are hunting.

I have confirmed it is a unit wide tag. Good point.

I would drive down there and scout.
