Thanks to everyone’s advice. It’s opened me up to more questions, however.
When targeting elk, it really seems to vary from location to location with competition from out Hunter. Alder flats gets quite a lot of action, where I’m sure the 400s don’t get as much due to difficult terrain. Have any of you been out in very remote areas and come across people?

If you plan on hunting the high foothills,low mountain area of Alberta be aware that numbers of Elk are down due mostly from Wolf and Bear predation.
Not to say they are not huntable,but they are hard to locate.
Good luck,scout lots in August.

How many times do you scout in the shoulder season before bow opens? And do you prefer bow over rifle because of the ability to call and stock etc.?
