Some tough country to hunt elk in up there. Those animals are cagey beyond belief, nocturnal is what they are, very field shy. If you have the opportunity get up there earlier and talk to some land owners and see if you can get some permission on private land I would say is your best bet. Look south of town in the North Star area and to the west. Chat with some land owners and get the low down on them, permission is not hard to get there but is necessary I think anyways in order to fill a tag.
