Tick tock. These next three weeks are going to drag so dang slow. This is the most anticipated elk hunt of my life with the most preparation work put in. Anyone start packing yet? Haha

As far as not finding Elk sign and moving to a new area. I have a good size area I have narrowed in on, several different specific areas within that, a few miles away from each other, but all within same altitude range. Lets say I hit the first area and don't see any fresh sign and no elk. Are you talking moving 2 miles, 5 miles, or 30 miles away to a new area to try to find them?
Area I am scanning looks to have an altitude from 8K to 10K, lots of streams.

This last page has been rely good for me. I'm getting worked up trying to make sure I have everything. This reminds me to take it back to basics. Thanks guys
On another side note for those looking at making maps. Colorado hunting atlas has the ability to produce some good maps with aerials and topo. I printed off my hunting locations with one aerial and one topo. I'm going to laminate them into an 8.5 x 11 sheet

Here is a bull I videoed a couple weeks ago. I would say he is on track to be a good un!!!!
Wish all the elk hunters good luck.

Just curious if others have realized the same discrepancies between their hand held GPS and the Google Earth GPS Coordinates. When I enter my "boots on the ground" GPS unit coordinates into Google earth they are off by as much as 300 feet. I can find the exact tree but the coordinates are quite different. Has anyone encountered this in the "boots on ground " scouting vs the "Google Earth" scouting?
