I got lucky and drew an Early Antlerless Elk (101-103), and Early Antlered Deer (101-109) in Northeastern Nevada for archery, and have done some decent scouting in 103. I have so many questions, but my biggest one is whether I should mentally separate these into two different hunts? Meaning go for the buck Muley, bring the meat to the processor, so that I can get back in the bush to chase down the cow elk?
I am completely open to suggestions and am happy to read any, and all, advise from the experts, or even those who have hunted these areas before. I am in the Navy, and have had limited experience in these areas (as well as a limited window to hunt the areas), but recently on a scouting trip found a buck and doe walking through my campsite while snoozing in the hammock during mid-day... There is plenty of life in the area, just have not seen the elk... yet...
I have been practicing nearly daily, and double checking all of the gear for this trip (I am going solo, and will thusly wind up going overgeared for contingencies of course). Needless to say, I am completely STOKED on this hunt!
Thank you all in advance for your sage advice.
Very Respectfully,
Shawn
