Public land elk hunting can be a challenging but rewarding experience. With over 10 million acres of public land available for hunting in the United States, there are plenty of opportunities to find success. However, hunting elk on public land requires a different approach than hunting on private land. In this article, I will share my tips for success, including how to find elk, choose the right gear, and make the most of your time in the field.

How to Find Elk

The first step to successful elk hunting is finding elk. Elk are most active during the early morning and late evening hours, so these are the best times to be in the field. Elk can be found in a variety of habitats, including forests, meadows, and mountain slopes. They are often found near water sources, so it is a good idea to focus your search around rivers, streams, and lakes.

Once you have found an area where elk are likely to be, the next step is to start glassing. Glassing is the process of using binoculars or a spotting scope to search for elk. When glassing, be sure to pay attention to the details. Elk are often well-camouflaged, so it is important to look for subtle movements or changes in color. If you see something that looks like an elk, take a closer look with your binoculars or spotting scope. If it is an elk, you can start to plan your stalk.

Choosing the Right Gear

The right gear can make a big difference in your success when elk hunting. Here are a few essential items that you should have:

• Binoculars or spotting scope
• Rifle or bow
• Ammunition
• Hunting license
• Backpack
• Food and water
• Clothing
• First-aid kit

In addition to these essential items, there are a few other things that can be helpful on a public land elk hunt. These include:

• GPS
• Rangefinder
• Elk calls
• Scent control products

Making the Most of Your Time in the Field

Once you have found elk and chosen the right gear, the next step is to make the most of your time in the field. Here are a few tips:

• Be patient.
• Stay quiet.
• Move slowly.
• Use cover.
• Take your time.

By following these tips, you can increase your chances of success on your next public land elk hunt.
