Well we traveled high and low and saw large bucks and a big bull but no cows. We will try again after our deer hunt next weekend. One interesting thing we saw was a badger in area 7 along cold creek. Funny little guy. Got a video of him heading towards the creek. First badger I have seen in the wild.

Any updates on the cow hunt from any members?  I traveled over this weekend and hunted Saturday and Sunday.  Had never been there before and was totally shocked by the enormous size of the YTC.  Saw a few spikes and small bulls during the day on Saturday and a few cows right at dark that were impossible to get to due to their location and darkness.  No elk sightings on Sunday.  Am going to give it another try on the last 2 or 3 days of the season later this week.  If anybody has any suggestions on general areas to target I'm all ears!

What units have been open?  I know it changes daily. Just asking generally.

[bigdub257]

If I remember correctly, the only units that were closed over the weekend were 5 and 16.  The hotline just listed areas 1-9 and 16 open tomorrow.

Gonna be in there Wednesday and Thursday this week looking for one cow willing to be freezer foder. Looks like they key areas will be open.

[bigdub257]

I hope they keep most of those areas open through the week.  Good luck and maybe I'll bump into you over there!

I’d hit up 15 if open. Lots of elk in 15.

Thanks for the heads up on that Teanaway.  Hoping they may open it before the season ends on Friday.

You guys as well. We got 2 days to seal the deal so we will be hitting the ground hard.
