Quick Tips

If DIY public-land elk hunting in rugged country is your thing, this unit provides excellent opportunities
If you are in decent shape and are up for the challenge, put in some map work and try to find the places that are furthest from public-access roads. You just might find the bull of a lifetime
This goes without saying, but be certain you are aiming at an elk before squeezing the trigger. Many of these areas also contain deer and moose

In the far northeastern corner of the state, Unit E1E is an awesome unit. There are ample public-land opportunities with excellent elk habitat that make this unit a dream come true for the DIY hunter. The Pembina River enters the unit from Canada, and with it brings some excellent elk habitat. The elevation drops from about 1,500-ft. to about 1,000 ft. in the river bottom, and then quickly rises back up. This brings with it broken country and forest.

Lots of public access and great elk habitat, gives the public land hunter the upper hand. Friendly landowners can isn't a bad alternative either.
