Winston elk don't move much during the day unless pushed, Your best bet is to go high, find snow, cut tracks and live with them. If you are a good tracker and have a buddy that is the same, You can get on fresh elk tracks and walk them down, Once you bust them, if you don't see them first. the game begins. one stays on the tracks, and the other is out in front and about 50yds to one side or the other of the trail, quite as a church mouse as creeping along. He will probably get the op, as they will be watching thier back trail after being busted. I have hunted there since 84 and only have two years where I did not have a chance to harvest an elk. I have not shot a cow in 10 years, but had 13 straight before that. Now I put my friends in the position of the church mouse and let them wack the cows. Now if we see horns, it's a different story.... But think snow as the season progresses... Much easier game
