[QUOTE="Petras, post: 182191, member: 216"] Will this be an archery or rifle hunt? I drew a cow tag out there 3 or 4 years ago. We camped in forchette(Sp?) bay. There is a ton of public land to hunt, but, be prepared to work. If it's during rifle season, the first weekend will be busy and the elk will be way down in the deep rough country. I had blew up my knee 4 months prior to my hunt, so I wasn't able to be hiking around down in that super deep stuff. One of my buddies hunts that area a lot and said that with my knee being blown up that my best bet would be to wait until the thursday before the second weekend of the season to go out. We went out that thursday, set up camp, went out hunting, and watched a herd of about 300 or 400 elk jump the fence onto a private ranch and we never saw them again... Day late I guess. We hunted 5 more days and never saw another cow. If any of us would have had a bull tag we could have easily filled. My advice to you is this, if you are physically able to do the hiking and climbing it takes to get up and down that country, then go the opening weekend and do it. If not, wait until after opening weekend and try to catch them coming up out of the super deep shit and onto the flatter land. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
