Youth Cow Elk - Yakima South GMUs 364, 368

[Jasonkjasonk]

Trying to give my daughter the best shot at filling her cow elk tag next week.  I'll be up scouting this weekend, not asking for anyone's honey hole.  Just curious if there are recommendations on where/how to get into the GMUs, areas to avoid due to private land, etc.  Any advice for my daughter's hunt is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Good luck to you, my daughter has the same tag.

Any FS roads south of rimrock lake will get you into good elk country or head up the 1302 road off hwy12 it gets you up high and splits both GMUs. Won’t be alone but should get an opportunity at a cow.

Get to the unit and look for elk.  Pull the trigger when you see one.

Truly appreciate the input, I'll use these as a place to start, thank you.

That is definitely part of the plan!

I’d focus more on 368

With the wx coming in .. definitely.
364 is thick and nasty...and by the this time of year the elk are two speeds... sleeping or running..
Get into some open country and hope something slows down.

If you end up in 368, go up Cowichee Mill rd until you hit gravel. With the recent snow we've had it should have to elk moving into that area. Good luck

Great, thank you, will start in the 368 area and go from there.

I've hunted Rimrock and Cowichie... I'd go with Cowichie... Head up Jack Ass, North Fork, or South Fork... They gated Nasty Creek but you can still get into the Nasty Creek Flats from the lower road or from The Foundation Ridge side... I've heard you can get into Stroughbach if you go Reynolds Creek Rd but haven't gone that route in years... Good luck... If there is enough snow the lowers of Sedge Ridge could be worth checking out... Always worth a hike through the Red Saddle... White's Ridge... Green's Pocket... Go to Eagle's Nest and overlook Shockley Rock area... I know a bunch of great area's in Cowichie... Have hunted there 30 years... Have shot a lot of deer and elk there... Rimrock I've hunted a couple times... Don't remember any of the roads except the 1050... Shot one bull there...
