I get a elk or deer every season. Sometimes both. Your questions can really only be answered by your local wildlife dept and for the unit you intend to hunt. Elk herds and deer herds out west here are in decline. So it takes a bunch of work to find a "secret spot." Most of the game is on private property for the free hay.
Nobody really knows what animals can actually see, whether they are color blind or see in color. Its a guess based on the number of rods or such. But they really don't know. Its a educated guess. We kinda know how a mind works but who knows how a critter brain translates what it sees? I think more than anything prey animals see movement above all else. Next comes scent.
For archery I camo up (no face paint) and for rifle I just wear whatever is confortable.
It saves me money to hunt big game for food. But I have the things in my yard and I already have all the gear.
I do know, I'd hate to carry out a elk alone..I'm lazy as heck. I have help.-WW
