2015 Mt. Adams Modern Elk Season
« on: January 28, 2015, 09:36:31 AM »
I'm planning on concentrating my summer scouting to Mt. Adams area for modern firearm season 2015 elk. I was thinking about starting my scouting around the burn area.  Just looking for a little assistance or advice on where to start or areas to avoid.  Thanks.

WOW....First post and asking for advice! I've been waiting for someone to give you a response for the last few hours now and I cant take it any longer. Heres some advice. Go scout and put some boot leather on the ground! Good luck in that area with the other thousands of hunter. A summer scoutting trip is not going to help you. Once you put your time in during the season then maybe next season you might learn some tricks on where the elk move to after all the other hunters in the woods give them pressure.

Elk hunters are attracted to wilderness areas and many recognize that burns create foraging conditions that attract elk and deer.  The area you are inquiring about offers both along with fairly easy access thanks to a large number of forest roads along the wilderness boundary.  Scouting is a good way to learn the lay of the land and that will be helpful to you next elk season.  In reality, the area doesn't hold a large number of elk and it gets heavy pressure.  Scouting the area won't lead to any honey holes where elk are unmolested.  The elk in that area get ping-ponged around by many hunters each day which means that you'll have to be in the right place at the right time to be successful.  It's a beautiful area and fun to hunt so don't be discouraged by the information you are receiving.  However, you should also realize what the situation will be like when the season opens next fall.

Good luck and welcome to the site.

Yea I thought those burns would be ideal - pounded them last october and there was just nothing there.  Not sure why.  Deer few and far between and no elk - maybe too dry.  The whole area borders the Indian Reservation where they can move over and be undisturbed during the season.  Course there's always a honeyhole somewhere if you find it  - you can be sure its got tree-stands and camera's around it from the locals that have spent the last 20 years scouting there.

Well this doesn't raise my optimism.  Sundance are you talking about buying a permit from these private timber harvest jokers.

Pray for snow! And don't overlook the swampy meadows area, there is always elk running around in there.
