These lower elevations are usually void of elk (or have very few elk) until the November snows start to fly and push the elk by the thousands out of the high mountain terrain and down into the open sage terrain.

Generally, hunters will see hundreds of elk and get to look at several bulls before making a stalk. It's important to be selective on these late-season hunts when conditions are prime.
