Oh, believe me. If anyone is tight lipped it’s ol goosefreak! I’ve hunted this area for 10+ years and over that time me and my buddy have killed some spikes, and some rag horns and a small 5. Unfortunately over that time period we have lost a bull or 2 that would break the 300+ mark. Makes me sick but, it happens...
It’s taken several years to learn how these elk behave in this area but, we have got it figured. They don’t really come into mineral licks that we set out although they will get into them when passing by, aside from 2 seeps up there, all the elk just wander around. There are several dense areas in there and these elk move from one to the next in a circle. Hunting those particular travel routes are going to start paying off a little more in the years to come..
