Randy Newberg has a Colorado elk tag for this season and is planning his hunt by e-scouting. Working in his favor is the new release of 3D Maps from goHUNT. Having e-scouted for years and done seminars on it as well as previous videos, Randy illustrates how 3D changes the way he can e-scout.
There are a couple tools in particular that are extremely helpful while trying to pinpoint areas where the elk may be depending on the season you are hunting. In this case his tag is for the post rut and he uses the elevation tool to his advantage to isolate the areas to focus on.
After having general areas and elevation identified, Randy now needs to find the best absolute glassing knobs to be able to survey multiple sanctuary areas. With the help of 3D and the line tool, he is able to get a much better understanding of what he will be able to see from any given area.

FANTASTIC segment! I purchased a membership and geeked out on it for WAY too long last night! It's a game changer.
Sweeeeet!!! So many cool features. Good luck this fall!
In understanding what the elk need during your specific time frame, I can see how it eliminates a lot of country and save time. Great video and thank you for everything you do. 👍🦌🇺🇲
Using RMNP as an example is smart; it is closed to all hunting, so no one can steal your spot! LOL. Late summer/ early winter can change overnight in those parts & Elk will change elevation by 3500+ in a few hours, trust me! I lived just down the road (from RMNP) for the last 20 years ;)
Wow! My season just started and I've been taking a few newbies with me so I can help them get their first elk. I'm hunting my first archery bull tag. My unit is in a lower part of the state, and I'm seeing this 3D maps becoming essential for this hunt. This is great!
Randy this is awesome. I would love to see more. Give us another going more in-depth. These features are sweet. I’ve learned a lot from you e-scouting series. Thank you thank you thank you!
More to come!
Thanks for the great info Randy
Cheers from Canada
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome. Thanks Randy!
Good morning Randy!
Thanks Randy, this information is Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful
Very good information, thanks
I have 3 monitors and I have Google Earth on one screen, OnX on one screen and now GoHunt on the third. They all have their strengths and I'm looking forward to my fall hunts. But the FREE Google Earth is still my best tool. But I have used that for years. Doing most of the things you are talking about here. GoHunt is making it easier though. Good stuff Randy I play with the GoHunt maps most every day. 👍
Great tool!
super cool , thank you
Great tools that I didn't know that existed
Great information- eliminates MANY miles of boots on the ground scouting!
Glad it was helpful!
This looks cool. I just gave a seminar for Scheels the other day on using OnX and google earth to E-scout North Dakota Public land. I was just saying how nice it would be to have a 3d map with overlays.
Old guy just getting into hunting. Thank you for all the great info! 🫡🇺🇸🦌
I think that this is phenomenal and looks pretty easy to use without spending more time transferring waypoints and cross referencing between Google Earth (3D) and OnX Maps (a former long time partner) which is 2D and able to be used via a mobile as you know already. Mark Livesay of Treeline Pursuits (and his extremely thorough E-Scouting course) who was also at the Western Hunting Summit has said that Google Earth can do many of the things OnX can do with layers and such, but most people are not aware of that. Plus it is not as obvious and easy. With these GoHunt Maps it brings it all into one once they get the mobile version up and running soon, plus those really handy features that you have been talking about and they have been showing off on with the Line of Sight tool, the elevation bands and so much more for no added cost with streamline everything into a one stop scouting shop with the maps, the draw odds, Filter 2.0, unit breakdowns, and the extensive Strategy articles by Brady, Trail and the team. Oh and the Gear Shop which I still have 50 points for using Promo Code RANDY. Not sure yet what I want to use it on. Talk about value.
I am not sure if those that are applying for the Free Trail will get access to the GoHunt Maps, but they should since it is part of being an INSIDER?
Even though I didn't get to do the mule deer and pronghorn hunt in Wyoming this year because of many circumstances this addition will help me with that as well as any future elk hunts (have bought points in states like CO, WY, NV, etc..) I could imagine 3D would help me with scouting a unit to apply for pronghorn to see the terrain better so I can put a stalk on them easier than some flatter topography, especially if I were to get an archery tag. Let alone what you have mentioned about elk regardless of which of the 5 periods that they are in. One can definitely use the 12 part E-Scout series with a former partner and apply it to using these GoHunt maps to an even more effective rate with the 3D they offer.
I hope that all your information from the mapping software will be easier to transfer than when you asked one of your younger employees to do the same when pulling them off the old Garmin GPS. Thanks for sharing I was hoping that you were going to do a video like this once I saw the release of the GoHunt Maps.
thx randy
You bet
Thanks Randy. I have a Colorado 2nd Rifle Elk tag. I'll be using these maps to discount some areas. I'm go on the GoHUNT site right now.
Will Go Hunt be doing maps in the Eastern US? I'm in TN and would love to have these tools.
Interesting comment on water in Colorado... local reports for the Uncompahgre National Forest south of Grand Junction, Delta, and Montrose indicate a severe drought this year - and locals suggest likely need to hunt "water holes" if you can find them.
New hunter here, can someone tell me how the current fires in CO would impact where/how they hunt this upcoming November? A somewhat larger fire broke out in my unit a few days ago and doesn't show signs of burning out any time soon.
Thanks Randy! So your not with On-X anymore?... And how does this compare to On-X? Thank you.
I have a good idea they go into sanctuary type areas. Kind of like post rut. What are your thoughts
This is awesome Randy, Thank you! I am actually hunting 1st Rifle in a GMU near RMP, however there is a large wild fire nearby. How would that affect your e-scouting/scouting for the area you want to being? How much does a current or recent forest fire affect the elk patterns? Again, thanks for all of your videos and knowledge! - Joe
They will move, but not far.
They tend to move closer to road 50 from 3 and then move back next year. The last fire was 5 years ago near the plant in the same area.
Hello video is very informative,my question is where do bulls go for the brief period between shedding velvet and rut
They're likely in that same transition area but moving the opposite direction. As in moving from their high summer country to wherever the cows are.
That will be very helpful thank you
The 3D tools will be pretty great for out here in WA, just a shame its hard to predict where they would be in elevation given that its no higher than 7000 ft and West is just so densely packed with trees.... Cant spot anything from a distance unless your East.
Last weekend at Rocky Mountian NP there were 45 elk at the West entrance gate(Grand lake) eating at 5pm. This is shown as your winter range.
RMNP is an elk anomaly. If you were in Estes Park you would likely have seen even more elk eating grass on the lawn in front of the bank. These elk are not spooked by people in the least as they see thousands of tourists pretty much year-round. Randy was using RMNP as an example so as not to send a stampede of hunters into a unit that is actually huntable because he is considerate... (FYI, RMNP prohibits hunting)
Randy knows what he is talking about when he so kindly shares his wisdom on the matter of elk and their behavior. You would be well advised to broaden your own knowledge before challenging him on his advice.
To Randy, thanks for your thoughts on this new research tool. Invaluable insight as usual.
This is great, I'm wondering if these ranges to find the elk are similar in other states such as Montana or if the elk act differently in different states.
Elk are elk
They all want the same things
And they will seek that out
Not matter what state u are in
@@stevenfields4422 I just wasn't sure if the strategy was different due to location and hunting times. Noob here for elk hunting. It's my first year. Trying to get as much knowledge as possible before the season hits.
@@aaron1540 hunting times yes
Elk need different things at different times
Figure out what they will need
For the time u will be hunting
And then find that in the landscape
Try to be in places where other hunters over look
And u don't have to go
5 miles in to kill an elk
Difference can be (and Randy pointed it out here), water sources differ and overall past weather. What was the previous winter, spring, summer like? That can change the elks elevation range a little from year to year, but like previously said, elk are elk and they're always generally doing the same thing, no matter where they live.
Another idea that might be helpful to use GoHunt Maps along with the other INSIDER services as a research tool would be to have a link the the GoHunt Maps inside each Unit Breakdown right under the mapbox and above the quick tips. It could take someone to the center of the unit (perhaps in another tab) and they can check out the topography and other information the 3D Maps provides even quicker. Would be helpful for those of us that are coming from the East, midwest, Southeast, etc... that don't know the area that they are potentially applying for. To see if the unit is a place that that would work for them and they would be interested to apply for. I am just starting to dive into the Maps and I haven't found unit outlines on the GoHunt Maps, I am sure there is someplace to turn that on?
Coming......
@@Fresh_Tracks Thank you for the update. I understand that GoHunt Maps are still in Beta. At least that is what it says for me. So other features will be added later on. Were you referring to the unit outlines, my extremely helpful idea or both sir?
When are they planning on releasing the mobile version
The mobile version (iOS & Android) is in final testing and will be released as soon as possible.
Better to set up camp 3 or 4 days beforehand and scout, than spending time weeding out places you thought looked promising on a map.
Is this map available in Canada ?
Randy I have been hunting utah for 5 years now and have never seen elk in any hunting season. This is my first year hunting archery and I was out for 7 days. Still nothing! What do you suggest ? I need help.
Get away from other hunters and roads at all cost! Be willing to hike long and high and you will find elk.
If they add radio collar ping points........
Great elk hunting in Rocky Mountain National Park.
the bulls probably don't even care about sanctuary there since there is 0 hunting pressure.
Randy, What do I do with my OnX subscription? It was purchased as being a tool you recommended, not per se, but by having them as a sponsor. I feel as if the OnX users have been abandoned. I don’t think I am the only viewer to feel this way. It’s like you are telling us the old map system is now obsolete, this one is not.
I think OnX was the best until this came out, and now this is the best, that’s why he’s going with this. It just comes down to the fact that something better came out. I’m not sure if he’s keeping OnX or not, but as for us, decide what you like best and go with it.
OnX is still good to use in the field, so if you like it use a combo of that and google earth at home. I really like gohunts insider service, so if they combine maps into it that I can use in the field, it’s going to be great. I Would recommend you keep OnX this season, then switch to gohunt before next season if the in field mapping is good. Lots more value with the gohunt insider service.
I used OnX the last few years, from watching Randy's videos.. good but I always had issues ( probably used error more then anything!) but if something new is out, I am willing to try it. You pay for OnX by the year, just don't renew your subscription!
onX is a great company with great people. I appreciate your support of our partners. If you want a full explanation of the situation, I explained it all here - www.hunttalk.com/threads/gohunt-randy-onx.300205/
Randy, Thank you for providing me with the thread that clarified your position with GoHunt and OnX. I wish I had seen it earlier. Being a self employed health professional, I realize there are difficult decisions to be made. As a mentor once told me “it’s not whether your decision is right or wrong, the important thing is to make the decision. If you are wrong correct it. If you are right, continue,”. I am sure making the decision of which company to go with was tough, but you made the decision looking at all the angles. I certainly respect you for that. You have the hunter in mind, first and foremost, which in my opinion is the most important aspect. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Best regards, Glenn C. Hurley, Jr.
I use the elevations band layers
A little different
I turn on all of the elevation band layers
That I'm not going to hunt
What is left over is what I plan on hunting
And it's clear a veiw instead of colored
Also I turn on private lands
And then i know that the rest is public
Crisp and clear free from a colored layer
Laying on top of it
Makes it way easier to see
And eliminate a bunch of country really quickly
Good tips.
I was thinking the same thing when watching the elevation bands being shown. I couldn't see through the blue, green, other colors. I really like all those tips above Steven.
You cant use it if youre not an insider member? Dang it. They dont have oklahoma yet last i saw. So i havent bought it.
You're not giving instruction in how to, simply navigate the software, zoom in, drop waypoints, find the menu choices available. I need practical instruction in simply how to navigate the Go Hunt software and app. Thanks!
