Turns out my family and myself will be going to Scotland in August. I'm throwing around the idea of having a hunt while I'm there. It will just be me hunting since the family will be busy with some other stuff. I know there are a few guys from Scotland on here maybe a few that have done a hunt...
So I'm kinda gathering elk like to bed on benches or flat spots on the mountains. Am I correct in this thinking? And how do you go about locating benches from online maps. I live in a flat part of the country and have no references to compare to as I walked around my area.
I've been looking at the maps and units over and over. Anyone familiar with unit 22? I would like to drive out myself and look at it but with the whole covid 19 thing I don't know when I can make it out. There is one area in question that I'm not sure if the road thru the private are blocked off...
Don't over look Arkansas for bear. Last time I hunted down there it was around 300 $ for a licence, 4 deer tags and one bear tag.. some units do have caps which the hit pretty fast.. it's a fall season.
My first trip I saw elk everyday. My 2nd trip different spot I went with someone who "knew what they were doing" and we didn't see any.. it was only a 5 day hunt and we didn't move I know now that was a mistake.
I have a general idea of where I'm going but I'm a flatlander. I'm not able to come scout before season.. I only archery hunt. This will be my 3rd year elk hunting. Last year was a bust didn't even see an elk..at this point I'd be happy with a cow.. anybody be willing to help a guy out?
