so I got drawn for a rimrock bull tag in sept.. never hunted that area i know its a good spot.. just not good with the area.. does anyone have some good pointer....... thanks

I dont have any pointers but my brothers drew the tag a couple years ago and both scratched. Its steep country and they didnt get into a lot of elk until the last 3 or 4 days... They also didnt scout as much as they probably should have.

I've never hunted that specific unit by I know it's only a couple hours from Bonney Lake. Perfect excuse to make several camping trips the next couple months and find some elk!

Put in your time scouting over there. There is some good elk hunting and if you work hard you should have a good hunt. It is some steep and nasty stuff in some of the areas and others like pine grass and Conrad are not to bad. I had the tag in 09 fires shut us down from scouting from all the closures. We still did fine and got into the elk but my buddy knows the area well.

im going to go scouting every weekend from here out...I love hunting the steep and nasty that's where the big boys live and nobody goes there.... thanks hope it works out......

Not an easy tag, lots of permits and lots of general hunters. Stick it out til
The end, don't fool yourself there will be people steep and deep. The first and last couple days are the best

Oh and try to stay away from the jeep trails. Not fun to walk in several miles and have a bull talking in front of you to have 2 jeeps go bombing by you on a road 75 yards away you didn't know about

Don't ask me how I know

beaslayer6 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 11, 2013, 08:59:18 PM »

good advice thanks guys.. and had the jeep thing happen last year in naches.

Had the tag last year( modern) . Like others have said its steep, deep and very thick. I spent every weekend up there scouting , was into elk every weekend. I found out its not like other units where you can sit and let other hunters do the pushing. There are road hunters everywhere. I didn't get into elk till the general opener , than it was a spike at 15 yards ( i let him walk). Good luck

We hunting it year's ago and were on elk ever day. I think late archery is a better hunt. My buddy had the same tag. We hunted it hard and only just some bulls way up high at the GMU line and that was it the whole week. Good luck

thanks that's my goal...

It's a good unit. We've been hunting it for years and do very well.........largely because we know where to look. We continue to scout though. It is steep, and the jeep trails can actually be a help in locating crossing trails and getting into areas (on foot) more easily in the dark. If you're not fit yet, time to get to training......

dupedc · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2013, 06:27:55 PM »

That's awesome! I was up there this weekend too. Hiked into the wilderness on Saturday and then drove some roads, marking my map and generally learning the area. 2nd time up this month with a few more trips scheduled. It's getting closer each week! There's lots of beautiful country, that's for sure. Hope to see you up there!

bigassbull · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2013, 08:30:39 PM »

Great tag, we should talk, I had a pal get this tag some years ago, play the wind right and you'll score a nice one. Hit me up via phone and we can look over a map and I can pinpoint where id go

demontang · « **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2013, 08:57:19 PM »

There are a lot of nice bulls up there if you put ib the time. Ive had 5spikes and 3 rag horn plus a monster on my trail cam for the last mouth.
