If you can’t find elk in the forestry in 305 then should find new hobbies.

Elk go where the feed is and little hunting pressure. Be Nice.

Why don’t you? Instead of being condescending?

Something to think about.

If the weather gets really grizzly, I’ve seen them to the east of the forestry(may be 3 clicks). On 520 on the ranchland. Not sure about possible access.

talked to a lot of land owners and yes sask most are on ghost pine and they hoping the owner leaves them there because they don't want the problem of at least 5 6 hundred elk moving in on there property . we did get our cows thanks for the helpful messages guys....happy hunting.... and for the ones that have nothing good to say how about just shutting the pie hole know one wants to hear from you on the board.

Hows the weather been out there? Skyline and the 520 in decent driving condition? Thinking of camping out there. No tags, just fires and beer.

There is no snow at all. Roads should be fine.
