Private Land Tag Strategy for Elk

[Grant H.]

Well, with 5 months to hunt 501 on private land, if you get a tag I cannot see you ending up meatless.

Especially if you hunt private land during the normal hunting season.

An acquaintance of mine has a bunch of land near Red Feather, in the heart of Units 7/8, and he won't allow anyone to hunt his land. However, I have been allowed to walk his land (he's good friends with one of the pastors at my church, who I hunt with), and during hunting season there is more game on his property than anywhere else in 7/8. The "dumb forest critters" are certainly smart enough to know where they are safest...
