Hello all,
My name is Seth and I am very new to hunting in general. I went deer hunting in Illinois for the last 2 years. Cool enough I was able to get two deer in the last 2 years. This will be my first time ever Elk hunting. I got into hunting much later in life then most people. I am 30 years old and hoping now that I finally have some money that I can spend on some hunting gear and going out west to enjoy the public lands out there that are not from where I come from. I was hoping that someone out there could give me some Tips on hunting elk. I have been reading this forum for the last 2 weeks straight on elk to learn as much as I can. What i was hoping for in some info on gear for that area because I have never really been in the mountains before. Also hoping for tips on Area 37, like where to go and roads to get in because it doesn't look like there are many places to enter area 37. I know some people don't want to tell and I totally understand if you don't want to. I do want to say thanks for your help and I hope all of you continue to save those public lands out there because I know they are under attack right now and I wish you guys the best of luck in keeping those great lands.
