Elk Hunting in Unit 113N

Unit 113N is the northern sub-unit carved out of NDOW's Unit 113 elk hunt — a separate tag footprint aimed at distributing pressure across the larger parent unit. We treat 113N as a targeted high-country elk hunt with a distinct applicant pool from the rest of Unit 113.

Where to Find Elk in Unit 113N

We scout Unit 113N as a three-habitat high-country hunt.

Dark-Timber Ridge Bedding

Bulls hold mid-day in mature dark timber on north-facing ridges. We glass timber edges at first and last light from parallel ridgelines — pushing into bedding blocks blows elk out of the sub-unit entirely.

Mountain-Park Feed

Open grass parks and sage benches hold cows at first and last light. During the rut, bulls shadow those cow groups, so park edges are prime glassing targets.

Saddle Travel Lanes

Between bedding timber and parks, elk cycle through predictable saddles. We mark those saddles pre-season and set up wind-favorable glassing knobs overlooking them.
