Mt. View Unit

[archer86]

a family member of mine had a muzzy bull tag in there a few years back it is a physical hunt but bulls can be found traveling the ridge tops the tag holder i was with passed on a few smaller bulls and ended up shooting a good bull mid week. travel the trails in the nw corner and glass off the ridges we located some bulls driving the upper road and glass everything you could see then tried to figure out how to get to them we did see more bulls higher up on the ridges when we were scouting during the archery season that was probably just because we didnt have a archery tag though and they were just teasing us. if have any questions shoot me a PM I will try and give any info that could help you.

Good luck to you!! Should be a fun hunt

Picked up my pictures from 2 cameras.  One had been opened and turned on the tree so that it just faced the hillside.  Got a nice up-close picture of some fur as a bear brushed by the camera!  However, the area had increased elk sign.

Second camera had some good pics.  One is a definite shooter for me.

Anybody know what is up with the "blue" marks on that small 6 pt's butt?  Several elk had that look.

Once again, the unit proved to be rugged. I accessed it from Rd. 40/Mt. Road at the Lake Ridge trial head, headed east on the trail, then near Monument Ridge dropped down to where the guard station trail hits the bottom, turned northeast, up stream to the big fork in the creek, then west about half way back to the road, then south and uphill through really steep country, to hook back up with the Lake Ridge trail.  About 8 miles of mostly off trail travel.

Must be why they call it the Blues.

that's a good hike for that area. Getting close

[Turkeyman]

The first bull is a shooter.

[Shawn Ryan]

Turkeyman, yes on both counts. The area I came up in was incredibly steep and the cedars grow like slide alders: I hate slide alders. Tons of hornets.  But I found some good elky areas, beds, trails, small benches, high water, and rubs.

That 6x7 looks like a large-bodied, old bull to me.  His ivories should have a lot of color.

[Turkeyman]

The hornets are terrible this year. They love those small benches towards the bottom. You will have fun.

[JWEBB]

Awesome! I know Willie will appreciate them

[Shawn Ryan]

Spruce Springs Snotel says 2" of snow and .8" of rain in the past couple days.  Anybody up that way to see what was happening the past few days?

[Samloffler]

I'll be around grouse flats this weekend and report back.

[Turkeyman]

Got some rain Monday and Tuesday morning.
