I've been fortunate over the years to have multiple successful harvests on public land elk including a few good bulls and some cows. Most have been after several days of hard hunting and lots of ground covered. Last year I took my boys (12 & 13) on an archery hunt and a November rifle hunt. We covered lots of ground and had a missed archery 5x5 bull (and tons of good memories) to show for.
This year, for reasons I'd not like to get into, we only have two long weekends available that don't seem to mesh well with nearby elk seasons (AZ, CO, NM) with our restricted dates being Oct 2-4 & Nov 20-22 (leaving after school let's out Friday and back by Tuesday morning). If anyone has recommendations to help tilt the odds in their favor for an elk hunt (bull or cow) matching those very limited dates and restrictions it would be greatly appreciated. Open to PM / direct messages.
