Mudflow
« on: March 28, 2022, 07:16:32 PM »
Anybody know what was going on in the mudflow last weekend?  Saw about a dozen trucks and a couple of ez up pop ups set up down there. I could glass a couple of trucks way down on the east end.
I hope when I die my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.

That’s in the wild life area. You can go right up to the boundary but not in until May 1st. Lots of people just ignore that though. The gamers have been a little more vigilant the last few years. In my experience that area isn’t as good as it used to be for sheds.

I thought you can just walk right into the gates that go to the mudflow, you just cant drive or ride any motorized vehicle befor may 1st
Do it right the first time,

It was a RMEF/WDFW work party planting, weeding, caging trees.  You need to plant trees this time of year (or earlier) for best survival

unless it’s the WDFW or natives, then the elk are ok!

  Well what ever they were doing the elk were definitely moving out of there.

You can go right up to the boundary which is the bottom of the valley no issues you just are not supposed to go into the mudflow itself until after the time frame.
