I'm heading over this week for another adventure in the YTC to fill a cow tag. Anyone been in there lately or seen the log books? Just curious what's been open as of late and if any elk has been spotted roaming Alkali. Any info would be appreciated.

Lots of snow so bring chains and stick to the main lines.

I have good reason to believe there may be elk on the northern end of the unit!

Could it be the giant flashing signs on rye grass that say watch for elk

That, and they were standing on the shoulder and the bluff to the South.

A few were on the fog line in the median too when I came through early Sunday morning in the dark. They didn't even react as I drove past.

Probably isn't after you scared them out of there...

Thanks to those who offered up info.

I'll post up the results next week.

Looking forward to hearing and seeing that you were able to fill your tag. Good luck!!!

There are elk where there usually isn't any. This weather has really moved them. I suspect heavy tribal pressure as the snow has closed a lot of the roads down. Few are open. Should be a pretty easy hunt for you.

BULLBLASTER · « **Reply #14 on:** December 29, 2015, 09:39:37 AM »

I'm guessing it wouldn't have been much trouble to find a cow even without the added extra elk.

Good luck losdaddy

Good luck!!

Thank you. It was a little tougher to find the elk when I was there, it took some time. But we pulled it off. Fun hunt that's for sure I enjoyed it.

Congrats!! I think I'm heading over there in the morning.

After calling to verify the rec center was open today to get my card, I show up and they are closed. Bummer, no access today. Not looking good for meat in the freezer this year.

They're open 8-4 or 6 tomorrow. I called and spoke with a lady to confirm yesterday and she said closed today.

losdaddy7 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 01, 2016, 10:49:24 AM »

Thanks Plat. It's my 11 year old daughters first hunting trip with dad. At least we'll get the day tomorrow!

Wow, that's awesome. Would've been nice to see that and not have to work as hard as we did.

losdaddy7 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 03, 2016, 11:36:10 AM »

It was a great day with my daughter, although we weren't able to locate the animals. We stuck to the main lines and didn't venture too far on the steep, snow covered side roads. Beautiful county in there, for sure.

King Krok · « **Reply #27 on:** January 03, 2016, 12:51:27 PM »

Yeah, I love it over there. Glad u had a great time with your daughter. She'll remember that for years to come.
