Who from here will be camping in the Nile for the late archery season. I'm hoping to be there for the whole Thanxgiving weekend. I'm plannin on setting up a tent in the Nile flats or meadow as some call it. Might want to meet some of you Wa Hunt folks if you're going to be close.

D-Rock425 · « **Reply #1 on:** November 05, 2012, 04:49:25 AM »

i'll be close. maybe i'll take a drive up to see you. i'll be in a 97 silver suburban with some bow hunting stickers on the back. hmmmm sounds like every other rig up there

Good luck, I have a feeling it's going to be a great late season for elk in that area. I'll be helping out family members close by, but I think closer to D-Rock...

I was planning on it but donr think its gonna happen

NWWABOWHNTR · « **Reply #4 on:** November 05, 2012, 12:49:00 PM »

There are no elk in the Nile... no need to go there. Both elk that were there have been eaten by wolves. D-Rock knows where I'll be camped..LOL

Is that huge camp still there every year, just before the meadow, on the left? I think they call it Crooked Horn Camp. A friend and I hunted the Nile 5-6 years ago and we were welcome into that camp with open arms. Honestly, they were a bunch og great guys. Had cook tents, sleeping tents and poker tents with lights strung everywhere. That was alot of fun. One of the guys was from Moxee. I ran into him in Graham at the dump of all places. He was doing some foam work. Drove a black jeep. Sure would like to find that guy again. John Maybe? The old timer at the wood shed knew him well. He sent us down there to get bread and a couple cases of budweiser. Said to put it on his tab. We thought he was trying to send us on a wild goose chase but sure as heck...on his tab it went. Might be the best camp I was ever part of. Has a mix of Yakima area boys and folks from the wetside. Good friggin times.

Its just hard to hunt the east side when we have elk all over us here on the wetside. I will never forget that camp though

D-Rock425 · « **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2012, 01:34:22 PM »

I just going to hang out in camp with people.

sakoshooter · « **Reply #8 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:50:27 PM »

I'll be driving a silver Chevy Silverado ext cab w/canopy and musky fishin decals on the side windows. Probably set up my nylon tent for a few days. Don't feel like going thru all the trouble to set up my wall tent etc just for myself. Everyone's welcome in my camp or around my fire. Stop in.

Watch for the Barbie Jeep. That will be me

I drove by you and your Barbie jeep last. year or the year before on the 1701 road.

brianb231 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 06, 2012, 03:16:42 PM »

Our whole crew will be running up around Whistlin Jacks. We may swing down that way. We will be running around in the Big new Dark blue Dodge with the monster winch bumper and Bowhunter Elk Truck Rack. Stop and say hi or flag us down!. We are staying at the Wapato unit at Whistlin jacks from Friday after Thanksgiving to the following Wednesday.

See ya!

I will be there somewhere the weekend after Thanksgiving. Driving a 2005 white Silverado 1 ton with pipe rack. Camp will be a tent trailer and green army GP small circus tent!

DRENALINJUNKIE · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2012, 02:56:09 PM »

We will be up there again. We will be in my 06 White Dodge, Blyton gutter co. on the sides. Having thanksgiving up there this year. Always good times.

Still wanting to know current weather conditions in the Nile from someone in the know.

D-Rock425 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:48:20 AM »

I was hoping to make it over this weekend to hang a treestand or two but it doesn't look like ill make it over.

i guess ill bring them with and set them up mid day during the hunt.

Instinct · « **Reply #19 on:** November 11, 2012, 05:06:25 PM »

Looks like everything is falling into place, so ill be up there opener weekend. Not stayin the night but driving up there for the day and back to yakima. Look for a red 04 dakota quad cab w/ a elk sticker on the back and a elk hitch over along w/ a pink hawaian flower sticker on the back window.

krapmit · « **Reply #20 on:** November 11, 2012, 05:15:07 PM »

Just drove down from Nile area from setting stands. Only 1/2 inch dusting on the top. But that will obviously change by the time season start.

Was up there today as well, lots of folks up there today. Saw a dozen or so elk and some sign of deer.

300UltraMagShooter · « **Reply #22 on:** November 11, 2012, 05:32:03 PM »

I'll be there like every year. I'll be down on the cliffs after those mixed bucks. Already got my elk.

bowguy · « **Reply #23 on:** November 11, 2012, 09:39:33 PM »

Will be up the night of the 20th thru Sunday maybe longer just depends. Will be camped in tent city also , meadow at the y of 1600 and 1601. Hope to be up the right hand side will be a white Tahoe travel trailer with a 96 green f250 power stroke. Also a crew cab f350 green with green canopy should have trailer with two quads on it. The big camp has been there as long as I have hunted the Nile and that is at least the last 12 years. Just looked at the whistlinjacks.com cam and there is snow in the parking lot that wasn't there earlier today, so the weather looks to be coming in perfect cant wait to get up there and chase the critters around the woods.

D Rock, Are you in charge of the Nile Archery Camp Pot Luck?

I'll be there, driving my old tan Toyota Land cruiser. I wish everyone good luck!

DRENALINJUNKIE · « **Reply #31 on:** November 18, 2012, 06:02:05 PM »

Ill be up Tuesday night if everything goes to plan. You guys find a volunteer host and I'll put the rest of the nile pot luck together.

sakoshooter · « **Reply #33 on:** November 19, 2012, 06:08:24 PM »

My camp will have two beautiful girls guarding it. A blonde and brunnette so stop in and say hi or leave a note. Hey D Rock, check your private messages. I'm packing a few extra food items for the Pot Luck so make sure and holler at me.
I might camp above the Nile valley if there's no snow. The elk will be higher if there's no snow.

norsepeak · « **Reply #34 on:** November 19, 2012, 06:31:27 PM »

I'll be there....oh wait I live there, I'm always there. Anyway, I'll be hunting on some private ground.

If you don't have a permit stay out of the Blue forest (Nile creek ranch) off of the 1600, they will be aggressively checking permits this year.

Unfortunately I won't be there, I will be chasing bucks in the Chiliwist.
