I was curios how the elk hunting in unit 48 was doing I know there were some fires in that area a while back and was wondering if anyone here on the forum drew that tag in the last couple years or have heard anything good or bad.

I have drawn a cow in 48 the last two years,and filled the tag. It was 48-2 and the fires actually helped the area, with a lot of new vegetation. Good luck..
I hunted the early archery season last year. It was our first time hunting this Unit and we didn't do any on the ground scouting, but my partner did a good job of researching the area with google earth. We did find elk and my hunting partner shot a bull the first day we packed in. They were in a tough spot and the first pack out was brutal, the second pack out was better, used a different route and had an extra packer. We hunted 4 more days in various parts of the unit, and in our original area, I had a couple of more opportunities if my range was further. Lots of hunters, and all of the hunters we talked to seemed to be doing the same thing as us, trying to move away from the crowds, but everyone we talked to also had seen elk. Good Unit to hunt probably, but as always be ready to put in the sweat equity and deal with others...
