I agree one of the best things to do is mix it up and look for better results. Sometimes that's not always effective however.

I have a few different properties so when I find one is slowing down or needs a rest I move to a different spot.

unfortunately im seeing similar results at all my properties.

Just need to keep plugging away and make my opportunity count when it comes.

I really dont care about anything but elk this year too. 6 yrs is too long to have never shot a elk
That herd is a tough nut to crack. The cows are very cagey and experienced. I got into them once and they kicked my butt. Hopefully the cold moves them back into your area and that they stay out of the non huntable areas. The measure of worth is the depth of the hardship. At some point they will be back. With that many stomachs to feed they wil have to eventually.
