First season elk hunting in mountains and thus I'm relying on this forum for its wealth of information. So far you have all been very helpful, which I appreciate. Having said that I have another general question. I'm attaching an image that I have labeled...everything 'inside' the red lines is a historic burn area from 3 years ago. I've also included the elevation changes for reference. It is oriented N on top.
I know North facing slopes are important in early season, which is when I'll be hunting. I know there is alot that goes into this, but in very general terms...where would you recommend a glassing position be placed? S looking N, vice-versa, or something else. If I assume there is dark timber at the red lines, where in general terms would I best position myself to glass those boundary areas while taking into the account the whole North slope thing. Perhaps I'm overthinking this, so if I am just say so.
Thanks in advance.
