Elk unit 48

[mnhoundman]

Ok, I have 9 points for elk and probably going to apply next year.
I know a couple guys who hunted 120 but I don't have the points for that. But next door in 48 I should. That being said they had access to a ranch in 120, the same ranch has land in 48, so that is kinda the plan as of now, lol!
Just curious if anyone has had any experience in there or am I just dreaming? I'm just going off what they say and heard while they hunted out there, I have not been in that area yet, thanks for any pointers or any advice, much appreciated!

I work some in that Lysite to Lost Cabin area, I've seen some good bulls in there, be a fun place to hunt. If you got access to land that holds elk, that'd be even better.

I've hunted it quite a bit. PM me with the ranch you can hunt. Might be the same one I hunt.

I’ve hunted both 120 and 48, probably on the same ranch your buddy hunted. 48 is a little tricky with all the private but it does hold some really nice bulls. If it is the same ranch that I am thinking, they have much better hunting in 120 than they do in 48. I would be happy to share the limited information I have through a PM.

Never hunted it, but it would be cool to get a report on how it was!

 

[mnhoundman]

If I hunt it I definitely will report back.

Anyone have insight on 123 and 113? I think they just do an elk season every other year??

Yes, that is correct, there are every other year options there. Both can be fun hunts, I never drew those areas but lived in that area after college. Personally due to public access I would hunt an area with higher public percentages.

i believe they changed 113 to every year; this year 5x or less on a type 2, next year will be type 1

I guess it looks like I won't have enough for 113 but maybe 123. I have a cousin in wright, so he could probably get me into some private stuff there, that kind why I'm looking there

If you have access it will be an enjoyable hunt!

Well still undecided, if anyone has any other areas for me to look into with 9 points , I'm all ears! Could probably swing a trespass hunt to if anyone has anything they know of, thanks a bunch fellas!

My son is graduating college this December, he has 10 points. I have been researching like crazy, and it seems like 9-10 points is sort of no man’s land. He really wants to hunt this fall so we’ll probably put in for 48.
