Colockum if your headed there.
« on: November 04, 2009, 02:19:09 AM »
If anyone is headed to colockum, look me up.
I will be on channel 7 on the CB tonight all the way to sunday.
Camped off little carabou past the mud. will need a 4x4 to get back there.

look for a black and red ranger and a lifted blue Toyota, that will be us.
its also a great camping area with Cell service, if you are heading up there give me a shout or call eight eight six, seven seven four one. area code two five three.

I hope we get our tags filled during the mid week when less hunters are in the area. i want blood on my hands soon lol! Cant wait to harvest my first animal. :chuckle: :drool:

well, no elk for me this year. but i had an awsome time except sleeping and hiking around for a week on a pinched sciatic nerve.  :bash:
saw ALOT of elk, but being alone i couldnt glass the running herds and look down my rifle at thesame time so i missed a few shots i am sure, i couldnt identify a true spike at all so i chose to keep the finger off the trigger.

I almost got trampled by 6 to 8 cow elk running from my inlaws in the next ravine over though lol!
they came storming over the bank and i was like 20 feet down it going up, ducking behind a small tree i nearly crapped myself, none were Bulls so i only scoped them too after they nearly killed me.
I was already paranoid over seing Cat tracks when there WASNT any there on my way down Little carabou old road to the valley passed the red dot sign at the point..
we camped just before the water troff toward the end hoping to see the herds come back up the hill from the opening day stampede off the mountain lol
no bulls or spikes to be seen around there.
Got home to read a PM saying to call, sorry i didnt get the pm in time. Maybe next season i will be able to take you up on the offer, Thanks anyway spur_ride .

we drove all over the hill looking for elk after not seeing any and getting tired of hiking. tried to locate the herds and walk in after some, but nothing.
saw a few solo bulls, a 5x6 and a huge mulie Buck and a few white tail bucks. but no dinner spike elks to be found anywhere.

Whitetails in the Colockum?
yes, lots. not many sporting antlers though or we would have just stayed a few more days and had fun with them also.
big group of mommies right behind out camp the whole time we were up there.

there was some huge bulls up there this year for sure.
just wish i had a big bull tag lol!

I aimed at a few and said **POW**, it made me feel better knowing i had them in my sights and COULD have taken them.
alot of 5x6 and 6x6 big boys up there. not too many spikes to be seen though. no meat hanging was a bummer.
seeing ALOT of the Colockum area was awsoem though. not like Memorial day weekend when we stay near camp and shoot the heck out of our firearms at targets.
I wouls slike to get them Binoculars wit hthe built in camera, that would be a plus when i see so many herds and no time to pull out my camera from my pack.

But thats cool you had a good trip. Nice that you saw a lot of animals and big bulls. Hopefully populations will be better next year.

It's feasible that there are Whitetails up there.  I've heard of Whitetails around the East Selah area.  So it's possible.  I'll believe them when I see pictures.  But it's possible.  I've seen Whitetails as far west as just outside Othello.  So  :dunno:

Its possible there are moose, grizzly, wolves, and even blacktail in that unit. I think he was mistaken though... We woulda heard something if there were suddenly a bunch of whitetail in colockum.
