My son had a SH Tag a few years ago and started very early on the Elk. Scouting they were very easy to find. Once those horns harden in late August they move into some rough country and you will not find them late anywhere near where you find them early and that is a lot of broken country when they are scattered which is why the % success on that hunt is relatively low, but there are quality animals and genetics in there so big ones are possible.

congrads lots of area to choose from I had friends { 4 } that drew 40 last year all killed decent bucks biggest was a 175" 4x4 only about 24 wide but heavy they saw quite a few bucks but nothing huge..very very few really big boys in 40 anymore..depending on how much snow & when it falls down there are the big factors..the Silver City area & Della mar areas have some good bucks thats the area my friends got theirs last year...
