Methods

Hunting methods may include glassing openings in canyons and hillsides and then stalking if needed, watching water sources, and hiking or still hunting on mountain trails and on high ridges.

Trophy quality can be good, we see bulls with antlers ranging from spikes to 7x7's, an average bull elk probably has a 5x5 rack, but several bulls over 300" are seen every elk season.
