Drew Blue Mtn. Foothills East
« on: June 12, 2015, 01:21:25 PM »
Should be a good hunt for a nice buck. Looking forward to it. I've hunted Blue Creek (Blue Mtn. Foothills West) many times for deer and Lick Creek for elk.

Had it last year and had a great time. Some might say I missed a nice buck.....maybe even twice.
 Do you have private access or are you going to try and hunt the public stuff?

I did, that's right. Thanks for keeping track of me for me.

Haven't decided that, yet. May hunt part of both.  Don't have private access, yet; may be working on that.  I'd prefer to hunt public ground and will probably focus on Lick Creek and Mtn. View. If you think that is wrong to do, I'm open to suggestions.  I'm guessing that the whitetails are closer to the wheatfields (that is my experience in other units near there).  With 50 tags, I'm uncertain how the hunters will be distributed.  Any history on that issue would be appreciated. I prefer to hunt where others don't.

The 100 Road and jackelope, what size bucks did you see?  What should I be expecting or holding out for? How did you like the hunt? I don't know, yet, how much time I can dedicate to the hunt, which will dictate what I hold out for.

Hunter75 and toyman2, good luck on the tag. Woodchuck and elkburger, sorry you are waiting so long.  I used 10 points to get the tag.

Holy crap. I had the west too. Wrong year, wrong tag.  I'm a mess in this thread. Carry on without me.

:chuckle: yeah that was two years ago. Time flies. I had 9 points and didn't draw that tag.

Had the east tag last year. It was rough with out private access. Had to work at the coast all summer with no time to get over there. So I couldn't secure access. We hunted the whole area. We had a blast. Saw monster bulls, big bucks, monster sheep. And killed a few pheasant.
We went 1 for 2. We got lucky on a little bit of public land a had a 4 point chasing a hot doe. I tried to get on some access by permission only and the guy said his neighbors had the tags also so we couldn't access the land.

My advice would be knock on as many doors as you can. Go over early. Next time I'm taking my boat and hunting the breaks on the river.
