| Chesapeake:
I've tried hunting it in years past. We never did the boat thing, but did look around and talk to the locals. We saw lots of elk but they were bedded in a grassy area cleared for a developement about a mile upriver from the unit boundry. Some of the locals were willing to let us hunt, but it was pretty much a "We will give you a call if we see them in the pasture" kinda thing. For us driving from several hours away it didnt work. If you were a local and had a few locals set up to give you a call if the elk ventured onto thier land then I think it would work well, but other than that I dont know that a person could drive there and hunt for a weekend and expect to see anything they could legaly shoot. The islands looked very small to me, and I think it would again be a deal where you kinda need to check every day or so till you caught them on the islands. I doubt you could expect to find them there on a consistant basis. |

Another local here, its a waste of time unless youve got opening week off and a bunch of private land lined up to hunt on. the elk get smart are cross back over hwy 20 were its closed. I dont know why they even have this hunt, it just creates maham between the hunters and private landowners. The hunt is a land damage hunt, which dont make sense because half the landowners wont let you on to hunt. Its all private, and if you kill one you almost always have to deal with the local wardens on it, getting questioned. Archery hunted it a little a few years ago, but no luck. |

I agree with the other locals, I live just a few miles away and don't bother. |
