[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 130572, member: 340"] I was drawn for an E2 cow tag. Yes, cow. I know, once in a lifetime, etc, etc. Anyway, I admittedly have not done much homework since I was consumed with planning for a CO archery hunt. I have summarized those exploits here: [URL]http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?7521-Elk-hunting-the-hard-way[/URL] So I didn’t get to scout / archery hunt in ND. I’ve been reviewing mapping and such trying to figure out the best locations for a rifle hunt. I’m guessing anything close to the north unit of TRNP is popular, as is the Killdeer Mtn WMA. So here are my questions: - Do I need to be trying to find / call private landowners, or do I have a decent chance at success on public land, given I'm willing to put in the effort? -- I’m certainly not going to pay any land owner for access… - The public / private land out there looks like a checkerboard. Do I need a GPS with downloaded public land boundaries on it to stay in the good, or are there other mapping options available? Note: I do have a GPS and will be taking it, but it’s an old Lowrance and I can’t get the ND PLOTS stuff on it. -Does any E2 elk hunter out there need another guy on their team that can carry a stout backpack and is handy with the iron?
