How to Find ELK on PUBLIC LAND (PT.1)

Randy Newberg breaks down the basics of how to find bull elk on public lands. In the first video, randy talks about how to approach e-scouting and the mapping tools he uses to be the most efficient while e-scouting.

E-scouting is a huge advantage. Studied GIS in college, prior to ever hunting anything. Decided to hunt elk as my first hunt ever, without any mentors or assistance other than packers. Easily found ideal areas for elk based of time of year. Found a herd on day 4, had a bull packed out and hung up by end of day 5 thanks to this sort of thinking (all as a solo first timer!).

As usual randy has more information packed in his head than anyone else I’ve listened to

I don't know if you've written books on this, but I'd definitely buy the books. This is a wealth of information, thank you.

Awesome! Been following on my map for my CO hunt in Nov

[ManTimeT.V.]

This is all great information! Thanks Randy! You are a wealth of knowledge on hunting!

[timlozano]

Awesome info Randy! Thanks for breaking it down.

Hey, have they added Arkansas as a map option yet? That's what I'm waiting for really.

[michaeltubbs]

Great video Great info on E Scouting so much great tools out there thanks for sharing!

[noarmrest]

would be awesome if you could do the same concept, except covering mule deer . Thanks Randy, much love from Idaho 🫵🏽🤘🏾

Well I’ve been looking at the wrong side of the mountain… thanks Randy

[clarencemaximum]

Can you make a mule deer e-scout video asap?

[skmaster]

I wish OnX had that terrain tool. But it has a lot of features I use that I can't switch from it.

So what if you're looking at an area that is mostly thick timber and there aren't too many extreme slopes so they could be bedding almost anywhere? At that point do you single out the meadows to try to find the elk? And since elk feed from night to morning should I just take my sleeping bag and spend all night at each meadow until I find elk?

[brentdavis]

Randy, thanks for the info it was great. However, I believe you left any important element out of your list. Elk are large animals and require a lot of water and it's not always available in the feed/forage area. Just thought I would mention that.

Randy, AZ pinion and juniper with no real North Facing slopes…Look for the thicker cover?

[bryanclausen]

great content. so for first rifle season in colorado late October, would I focus on the same sides of the mountains?

[plm]

Thanks Randy! Great useful content. When would you suggest starting field scouting a new area for a hunt in mid November?

[remhunter]

Would be nice is here in eastern Washington had more elk.

Thanks for the great video! Where can I find part 2?
