Bears impact Elk Hunting

[Orcas55]

What is everyone's experience with bears and elk hunting? Specifically, does a lot of bear sign/actitivty automatically eliminate the area for elk hunting success?

 

[El Jason]

No.

No in my experience. Perhaps more elk as people are less likely to be hunting the area with lots of bear sign/activity.

 

[Orcas55]

Great. That has been my experience as well but wanted to confirm if anyone had any other opinions on this.

I agree, bears and elk share the same areas. At least in the areas I hunt in CO and MT.
