[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 962534, member: 37223"] Since this is my first year bow hunting I might have screwed up. During muzzle loader elk hunts I only had to worry about other elk hunters so I might run into 10 hunters on the road going to or from camp. I never ran into another hunter in the woods. This year for bow hunting I figured there might be 100 hunters after elk in the unit I drew, so I might run into 10 or less on the roads going to and from camp. I usually leave the vehicle before sunrise and get back to it after sunset and spend all day on foot. The problem I found reading the rules and regs. is during bow season not only are elk hunters in the unit but up to 600 deer hunters. I figure head away from the roads and I might avoid most hunters but how is this extra pressure going to effect the elk? Any ideas on how to get away from other hunters? Hopefully it is like ML elk where most hunters are on the weekend and the week days are pretty empty. Crossing my fingers and hoping but I guess I will learn once Sept. 1st gets here. [/QUOTE]
