We use to see quite a few elk going in the gate across from the 70 road . We mostly stayed down low along the river coyote hunting and would encounter elk every time . The tribe hunts it quite a bit but it has been our observation that they never get off the road so if a guy was willing to walk a short distance off the road your odds would be better . There's not a lot if any big bulls in there but there are some branched bulls left , know one guy that took a 5x5 out of there a couple years ago year . Good luck .

The Hancock "permit" is just an access pass. Anyone can buy it, but you still have to draw a White River tag to hunt Elk.

Got quite a few pictures of these bulls over the past month.  No monsters, but fun to see nonetheless.

Big boys hang out in the tree farm.
