I have a antlerless tag for 19-23 Nov in GMU 53. I went there in July and scouted a bit at the top of Latir Wilderness. I didn't see too many signs, but I also didn't veer off the trail too much. I just finished my deer hunt in GMU 34 and had no success. However, I did see tons and tons of elk, and the bulls were still calling pretty hard. I doubt they will still be calling late November. Anyone hunted in 53 recently? I'm hoping for some helpful info as I would hate going home empty handed again this year. BTW, this is my first elk hunt. I was thinking of hunting a water hole I found in the Midnight area for the first day or so. Depending on the snow level, I may go up high to see if they are still near the top.
