Greetings HT group,
Just joined the group here and this is my first post!
So as beginners luck would have it, I drew an Elk tag on my first draw in NV. It's a party cow elk tag for the 061/071 units (late hunt). I will be hunting with my wife and stepdad. I am active duty military and just got stationed down in the Vegas area, which is a long long way from the hunting grounds. Unfortunatly I/we wont be able to do any scouting prior to the hunt. I am in great shape and can cover some good territory, and my wife and stepdad can hold there own on the mountain too. We will have a quad to get around as well.
Once again, I am a very new hunter (hunted deer and hogs while stationed in SC) which requires a whole different technique then here out west. As far as hunting TTP's go, so far I know the Elk will move for water, the cold weather will push them down, and I want to hunt when there is no moon correct?
Specifically, if anyone has any info on where to get a few cows from the 061/071 area I would be super grateful. I have been doing some digging and looking at maps already and the Bruneau River and moving east seems to have some good looking spots there seems to be some nice mountains between the river (061/071 dividing line) and Jarbridge which is the eastren boundry of 071.
I have to schedule my leave around the hunt so I think the plan is the first 10-14 days of December and if not successful, I can head back into the area around Jan 5-15th. Thanks all for any help, knoweldge, tips, and advice. I wasnt raised in a hunting family, but I am trying to raise my kiddos in one!
