Default Cow Elk

I almost drilled a cow elk on the highway in 166 back in November. It was the only one that I saw out that way.

I have not been out there for a couple years but from previous hunting partners I have heard of a large herd on Bullpound Creek near Shearness. That used to be zone 160.

In 3 years in 166 I can count on one hand how many elk I've see.

Very discouraged after today. We were all over 166 and didn't even see tracks

Walk the perimeter of the ecological preserve. It's majority lease land. Other than that, your better off to head to 162. There are a couple big herds around there but you never know where they will be from one day to the next. Its more prairie and open out there for glassing.
