What is your plan?
Are you going to backpack in or set up a basecamp? Selkirks or 49deg?
Last year I solo hammock camped for the first time and it was pretty awesome. I spent four days in the mountains following opening weekend and only saw a few hunters during the weekdays.
Had a shot at a bull but couldn't get him back in after he winded me.
I am looking for an extended trip (7 days) this year so if you or anyone wants to tent/ hammock archery hunt message me.
I would rather have company this year after some wolves got in close to my setup on the last night.
Good luck on your scouting this year.
Hunt camp will consist of my travel trailer. I'll either drive from camp and then hike, or I'll hike from camp. Most nights will be spent in camp, though I'll be prepared to spend a night or two on the mountain if needed.
I'm scouting both Selkirk and 49, to ensure I have options. I'd like to have at least 3 different areas, in each unit, to choose from. So far, my scouting has been in Selkirk, in two different areas. I plan to continue scouting Selkirk, on my days off for the next few weeks. Then I'll add some scouting trips across the river. Might even get some scouting in even further north, into 111.
I rifle hunted throughout 113, 124 and 117 years ago. I stopped hunting about 20 years ago and only recently took up archery hunting. I've only archery hunted for about 5 years, and my elk hunting has been limited to a very small area of 113. This year, I plan to at least have other areas scouted out, to expand my options.
