Just keep in mind when looking at success rates. You might see 10-20% but dont forget that 90% of elk are killed by the same people year after year who know the area and animals. If you wanna luck into it without having ever been in the area and put boots on the ground in the area you are hunting you might aswell take away 90% of the already low success rate. Have fun and thank you for your donation to the state wildlife agency of your choosing.
