Sherman Unit GMU 101
« on: April 14, 2015, 08:38:20 PM »
Looking for any info on this Unit, I scored access to 40+ Acres of private land that butts right up against the Coville Nat Forest.  Anyone know anyone that has had any luck or know if there are any good bulls up there.  I have multi-season tag this year, I usually hunt Wetside, but figure I would give it a shot if its worth it... Not looking for Honey holes or anything just curious as to what the elk are like up there if there are any....

Elk are sparse in 101, without local herd knowledge idea stick to what you know.

Well that's not good... I was just hoping there were elk in there I mean 40 acres isn't a lot but I mean it's worth a shot maybe during the rut... Might even have someone come with that knows the area to get a chance at one...

I have a buddy who lives there and runs 35-40 cams a year and gets maybe a couple pics a year of elk...I have yet to see any elk in my life in 101 and have only seen tracks once

I never saw any elk there besides once and it happened to be on the Native land so they shot it. Up by the border a few years ago a herd of elk came across but blunder right into a group of hunters and a spike was taken and the herd ran back to canada. I have found sign up in the national forest but I've seen more rams and wolves then I have elk or even elk sign. I've never hunted the east side of boulder though so maybe they're hiding out over by the river.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

look on WDFW harvest reports for the 101 unit. That should tell you all you need to know about herd size.  182 hunters in 2013 and only 16 elk.

I wouldn't waste your time looking for elk in the GMU.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

You hear of Border patrol running across them once in a great blue moon. I wouldn't put a lot of time in to it if I were you, save that 40 acres for deer and you might be on to something.

There's small pods here and there. The places I know where they're at are on private property and there is no way you'll get permission to hunt them, locals first.
$5 is a lot of money if you ain't got it

Hopefully they are and you get a nice one to post about?
