I love how you guys take the time to really break down and explain every aspect of everything needed to have success on the hunt.

@skylerbrycesmith 3 года назад

I’ve watched probably 15 different videos on e-scouting but this was by far the best! Thanks for the great info.

@joewilliams1482 3 года назад

That’s the quick simple e scouting course I needed. Thanks man! Good luck this year.

I don't know how people do it without ONx. Most useful tool out there for scouting. I use this same method but didn't know you can import points from Google Earth! Great video!

@PointsWestOutdoors 4 года назад

My thoughts exactly, and for roughly $20/month (with promo code ) you're crazy not to have it .... most people typically spend $20 on worse things. Good luck this year !

@joeetlinger3423 4 года назад

Thanks for putting this up Corey. This is so much better than listening to someone describe how they e-scout. Is this really all you do before heading in though, or is this an abbreviated version of your e-scouting? For example, with bedding, do you also look at the topo for benches on those north facing slopes? Do you notice bulls bedding on the top 1/3 of the slope like whitetail? Do you notice bedding locations are wind direction specific? Also, how do you decide what elevation to start at?

@lcampbell358 Год назад

Thank you,that was so helpful. Because I was just trying to figure out how to do that.

@rustyarnett8750 4 года назад

Corey, Thanks alot for this video, i had no idea i could do this with OnX maps and i have had it for several months now. I got it when iI got drawn for my first bull elk hunt Unit 6A Arizona. I can't wait to use this neat tip.

The mere $25 for 1 state/year is awesome tool.... You can use it in other states to track your movement & pinpointing locations for hunting/hiking/fishing/ect... You wont have all the features as the 1 state but, its been an awesome tool....

@Ryan.Willis 4 года назад

The first time I hunted OTC Archery for Elk was in 2006. We didn't have resources like this back then. We leave to go again in 6 days, I feel so much more prepared than I was 13 years ago when we went. We never did find the Elk, we wander around without hearing a bugle and no fresh sign and came home empty handed having just enjoyed a fall Mountain vacation. NOT THIS YEAR! Also, UEH is worth every penny!

How does it work if you're in an area with no service. I know you can download the maps to use off-line, but the GPS function doesn't work right? Great video by the way. Very informative thanks for posting.

Hi Terry! Yes, actually, the GPS function works perfectly, even when off-line.

@jimcarlton1299 3 года назад

I've been doing this with Google Earth to hunt WT for years. I still don't know what I'm doing looking for Elk though. Wondering what the reasoning is for the north facing sites? What motivates elk to the north face? And sadly, the OnX maps are unavailable in Canada.

@russellkeeling4387 Год назад

I have to go about locating elk in a totally different way. The area I hunt in Colorado is mostly private land so access is limited. The elk in this area have a rotation they travel. For instance in 2019 I was hunting up high and the elk would travel through the property I could hunt about once a week. They would spend probably 24 hours there and then move on. The same happens in the lower country where I also hunt. When I was young there were very few elk in this area but now there are quite a few. These elk grew up here and almost anywhere I go in this hunting area I am able to hear the highway and the railroad so the elk can also. The elk are not afraid of a vehicle but if it stops they leave. Not in a rush but they don't hang around. This is probably going to all change though because in 2018 there was a large forest fire that burnt a lot of the public land and after the fire rains washed out access to those public lands. Then a high wind blew down a lot of living trees on other access roads. The forest service has never reopened any of these roads and doesn't seem to be going to. This will change the pattern of rotation of the elk.

@LightsOutAdventures 4 года назад

What if you have never hunted elk before? Such as myself. We hunt deer, Turkey, and pigs here and SC, and I know what they feed on and how they travel the terrain. We are planning our first ever elk hunt the beginning of September in Colorado. What do I need to look for? We will be happy with any legal elk, but do not have a clue what they eat, and where they bed. Why do they chose a north facing slope? Seems like water is very important in early September since they are such big animals? Any input would be appreciated! Thank you for all of your videos. I have watched about all of them, and they are very informative.

@anonymousman8772 3 года назад

How much does elevation matter for a September hunt?

@erichironsson8592 4 года назад

Is northwest facing or northeast facing better for bedding? Northeast, because it faces away from the heat of the afternoon?

@russellkeeling4387 Год назад

And the timber is usually larger and more dense on the north facing slope because snow lays longer and irrigates it better.

@andyquinn4985 4 года назад

Do you need a certain level of OnX membership for the map layers that includes previous burns? I'm not seeing it for CO with my Elite membership.

@danielender6681 4 года назад

No you do not need extra...everything is on there. Search through the map layers section and it will show it. You have to turn it on to apply it.

@@andyquinn4985 Nope...in your app at the bottom of left of the screen it will have "map layers."

Do you ever find elk bedding near roads?

@sav300 4 года назад

Scott Vasey in the last few years I have gotten into more elk in their beds within 1/4 mile of a road than I have going in 3-5 miles. So in my experience yes. Personally helped pack out a few killed less than that from a main road. Road hunters drive by and the rest just hike right past on a mission to get in deep. The elk know it !
