In answer to the question, yes. You can identify likely areas but, that doesn't mean every area you identify will in fact have a wallow. Also, there may be areas with wallows you don't identify. If you can read and, understand topos, the contour line system and what it represents, then you can already make an educated guess of where to look. Oh, and don't forget, there will have to be elk in the area also.
Leg work is required for exact spots.

Don't forget dry wallows. Last season was very cool. I found a very active dry wallow. Keep your eyes open.

Found one 30 yards off a traveled road on a high slope. Behind a down old growth, where a spring comes out of the ground. Mud was splattered 10' up the surrounding trees. Logged in the GPS
