Default WMU 212 Elk

For the second year in a row I have purchased an bow Elk tag for WMU212. Last year I spotted a royal bull on the top of a hill which was encouraging, but I could never locate any cows. This year I thought I would try again, but so far all my scouting has yielded nothing in 212. Closest herd I've found is in 312.

Are there Elk in 212? Anyone want to partner up? I'm a fairly new bow hunter, so open to finding a mentor....

Lots of elk just generally pretty quiet unless its middle of night.

How many sections of land do you have permission on? The amount of permission you have in 212 pretty much defines your success rate.

That number is currently 0 since I didn't know where the elk were I have not approached anyone for permission.
