Unit E6 provides plenty of food, water and cover to hold elk. There aren’t any huge pieces of public access, however there are numerous smaller pieces. There’s enough small State Trust Lands and PLOTS areas to support hunters looking for public access. Additionally, if you’re wanting to hunt private property, friendly landowners have been known to allow access on occasion. Be sure you’re checking with landowners well before the season opens.
Due to nuisance elk in recent years, some landowners will allow rifle hunters to help reduce the population on their property.
