[QUOTE="NDwirehair, post: 182188, member: 878"] After patiently waiting for several years my Dad and I finally were drawn for Missouri Breaks Elk. This will be the first elk hunt for either of us and we excited for the time together and the adventure/memories to be made. Just reaching out the the Nodak group to see if anyone has any tips and good advice for us. I have been doing a lot of "Google Earth" scouting and found some areas that show water holes which i am hoping may be a good starting spot during this lovely drought season we are having (hoping they aren't all dried up tho). We have talked with a few other friends that have been to the area and have a starting point figured out, but overall just seeing if any one has had some experience in the breaks area and what type of cover/terrain they were commonly found in, some do's/don'ts, etc. Pending weather and how calm fort peck is we plan to travel by boat to get into some areas that are challenging to get to by truck and crazy long hikes, which we both know covering ground is going to happen regardless. I have a scouting trip with horses planned this coming weekend to cover as much ground as possible to GPS some water holes/wallows, good vantage points and possilby some areas we find elk. Do to the distance from home this will be the only time to make it out there before the season starts so maybe we will have a little luck on our side. [/QUOTE]
