Like many other species, how you hunt them changes as the year progresses. A late-season elk hunt could not be more different than during the pre-rut and rut.
They are a completely different animal and this requires a completely different tactic. Weather is king here.

If you're listening to this, you likely don't live close to the elk you pursue. Busy lives, limited vacation time, and hundreds of miles separate you from boots on the ground scouting.
Welcome to the 3rd of 8 episodes on Western Elk with Joe and James from The Fair Chase.
In this episode, you will learn how to do some valuable "e-scouting" from the comfort of your own couch. Mix this with some woodsmanship and hard work and you'll probably find some elk.

Welcome to the 2nd of 8 episodes on Western Elk Hunting with Joe and James from The Fair Chase.
Arguably one of the biggest barriers to entry for a new elk hunter is digesting all the different states, tags, and seasons.
In this episode, we hope to make this process a little simpler and easier to understand. OTC, general, limited entry. Second draw, alternate list, and land owner tags.
There are a lot of different ways to elk hunt every season. We hope this helps.
