I would stick around the eastern side of the Durfee hills. I got some advice a couple years ago from a member on this site when my brother in law drew the 411 rifle tag. He ended up harvesting a nice bull on private land bordering BLM. I think especially later in the season the BLM south and east of the Durfees holds some good numbers of bull elk. Problem will always be private access over there though. Good luck. PM me if you want more specifics on where we got permission.

I drew 411-20 this year.

I'm an older gal and I hunt alone.
Any information you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Private land owners?
Thanks!

I drew the 411-20 rifle tag this season. I just spent 8 days in the public around the durfee hills. I had a few nights that it looked like some bulls were going to feed off the N bar. But once they got too close to the fence ranch trucks and semi’s appeared on all the ranch roads driving the elk back up to the timber. It seemed odd that once the elk were hidden all the traffic stopped. I’m curious is it worth flying into the BLM? Has anyone done it recently? Thanks in advance

That was my mistake. I was watching through my spotter and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I didn’t get it on film.
