Scotty is a racist and especially hates black kids! :chuckle: :bash: How about everyone put their politically correct pants back in the drawer. As for the Clearwater, Scott has that right to.

Ate we talking the Clearwater in Idaho or is there another in Washington I have never heard of?  I have never seen natives hunting the Clearwater in Idaho.

A lot of bulls came out of there last year, relative to the usual numbers for there that is.  I'm sure that didn't help with the hunting this year.

I know the 30 mph winds and multiple inches of rain didn't help our group.  But that's just part of the puzzle out there.  Washouts, downed trees, flooding, being completely soaked miserable.

One bright spot in my season so far is that I've never seen so many chantrelle mushrooms in my life.

Spent 3 days hunting in there this year and saw one cow running up the road above the Solleks, did not see or hear of any in others camps either. Places I found good sign last year were barren. The elk were in the pastures only one day I was there this year which was strange.

Copalis seemed pretty barren this year too.

I saw one pic from rifle season.  A few from bow and muzzle loader all in the Clearwater. Here's a pic of my buddy and I with his bull from muzzle loader.



So they do exist!  Congrats!  Was he just hunting with a muzzy for fun during the rifle season?   

No the pic was from opening day of muzzle loader.  Clearwater has been open for muzzle loader last year and this year.

Copalis is being poached night Indians. Left Clearwater two years ago. Tired of dealing with Indians. Lots of big Bulls dying . At trout lake one more day. Was bear calling in september was to nervous with what was going on at Copalis had two pistols and rifle loaded at night. Rick

My thought is the new early muzzle loader season is a big factor.  Last year was the first for muzz.  The rifle season was pretty bad.  Just not what it had been the years before.  The other big change is the amount of new clear cuts, definitely a boost for road hunters.

I'm headed up there for late archery turkey day till Monday I believe. We went there last year with no luck. We saw a bunch of cows but no bulls.
Where are the new clear cuts at? Any good ideas on where to head and look at?
We got a pair of elk and deer tags.


We saw what we believed to be Indians ( had decals of a headress on there truck) and then Heard a few gun shots last year. It was kind of odd. They passed us a few times in there white truck. Then a half our later we heard shots right at dark. when we were headed back to our campsite we saw there truck running. With the doors open and no one around. Must have seen something good.
Just sucks we're out there bow  hunting and they get to shoot anytime they want.

The newer cuts were only a few miles in on the mainline.  Some newish cuts on the C 3000/3100 and the Q 3000, I forget the number, but about two miles from the prison there are some big ones (by today's standard).
