I got permission to go through some private land by Emigrant to get to the checker boarded mess of national forest land back kind of by Hyalite. The landowner, a woman, said the elk have been bulgling and I have no reason not to believe her. I called a couple of the ranches because of the checkerboarding/corner hopping issue and they said they do not enforce it and are not worried about it. Both ranches also told me there are TONS of hunters that come from a private subdivision up high and each ranch is gearing up for their guide season and they were back there a week or so ago checking on cattle and didn't see any animals... so basically LOTS of hunters and no elk. Would love to talk to someone that knows a bit more about the Emigrant area, the ranches, elk, etc... would love to know if it's even worth heading up there
