Have you tried the area around Schultz Creek? It's up by Coldwater visitor center, lot's of elk in that drainage. Might be able to enter through the 3540 gate. |

Wow, never had a problem finding a cow on the uper side of the road to kill in margret. I cant believe you couldnt glass any up in the canyons. They are usually bedded on the grassy roads through out the day. Schultz creek is usually a good spot to find elk. I have never not been able to find an elk in there. Check out Ted gilbert lookout, Its a good place to glass from. You should be able to find something to go after from there depending on the fir bow cutters. I've hunted around them for years up there. Always seemed to mess up my hunting . Then it started getting to growed up to hold the big populations of deer that used to be up there. You may want to try the 3130 drainage too. Or just drive back and forth on the highway like everyone else :chuckle:Maybee your buddy was bad luck? |

Just got back from my bull hunt in there.Schultz creek turned out to be a bust for me,with the helocopters flying there wasn't much to be seen up high,atleast for me.Ended up spending most my time creeping around in the reprod down low.I did get a bit of meat for the freezer,but not exactly the big bull I was looking for.For a cow I'ld hunt around the 3140,3142, and 2520 areas.Check out the fresh thinned areas work your way up hill and listen for the cow/calf talk,they're pretty vocal.I had to do alot of belly crawlin to keep from getting busted,but spent alot of time in among the cows looking for horns. I turned down two three points opening weekend :bash: and saw nothing but cows the next three days.Thursday afternoon I gave up :dunno:I shot a spike that almost stepped on me as I was laying there watching the cows feeding towards me.Not much of a trophy,but I got meat hanging and can get on with some duck killin now. When I say he almost stepped on me I'm not kidding he was less then 8 feet away and closing,I guess you might say I shot him in self defense. |
