40 goes up along county road GG from the Tuscobia, about a half mile west of North Country. Reed at North Country used to do the grooming of that section. 40 goes about 3-4 miles along GG, then turns east and runs right into 25 where the Clam Lake Groomer turns around.
The Elk Management you refer to is more west of Clam Lake along Hwy 77, as well as south of Clam Lake towards the old ELF line station that was moth balled about 12 years ago.
I’m sure they wander out of that area, but that’s where the management focus used to be.
