In my observation most of the hunters that kill an elk every year have access to strictly controlled land or can get into remote areas on horses.

For most of us we compete with high pressured educated elk,especially in the high foothills area of Alberta.

The Bulls I have shot have been on public land in the mountain zones,in my experience this is the most challenging elk hunt out there.

For me its much more than harvesting a bull but more about the hunt.
I don’t know many people who can just go out and shoot elk, maybe a few with the rifle that have crop land the elk frequent. If you hunt with a bow you pretty much have to hunt them and not just shoot them.
