RIFLE BULL ELK 078,105,106,107,109

Muley_Slayer · Sep 12, 2022

I drew the November rifle bull tag in 078,105,106,107, &109. I've been out quite a few times scouting and seen very few Elk. Has anyone here hunted this hunt and been successful? I've scouted in 105,106, & 107. Seen a few smaller Bulls and some cows but nothing I would want to put a tag on. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I’ve been looking to put in for this unit as well so interested to hear the feedback. Good luck on your hunt

I was on the muzzle loader cow hunt. Few elk on the west side of 105. A few in 109. A significant amount of the elk were ok the east side of 078, and I did not make it down the east side of 105, but my suspicion is the elk we're scattered along that east bench farther south.

I did see a good bull. I was not successful for my cow.

Good luck.

Send me a DM and we can chat. I had the rifle bull tag a couple years ago and have taken a couple cows in there over the years.

I just picked up the spike tag (early) for these units. I’m happy to share info after my hunt.

Not sure if it's kosher for me to give location, but I will say it's in one of the units this thread is about. This was a second hand text to me:
