I would like to give a sincere thanks to Randy for all the knowledge he shares with us. The information about elk behavior and the electronic scouting using google and OnXmaps really helped me out on my scouting trip this last weekend. This is my first time to draw an elk tag and I want to do as much as I can to make it successful. My hunting buddy and I spotted a decent size herd bull and 4 cows, as well as a 3 bull bachelor group, and finally I very nice big herd bull and 14 cows. Using the information Randy shared I was able to make a reasonable guess at where the big herd bull and his cows might be staying. Sure enough the next morning we checked out the small sanctuary area and not only was the big bull there with his cows, but now there were more cows and a 4x5 bull as well. Now I just have to hope he survives the next two weeks and that I can find him when we go back.
