[clhutner]

Has anyone heard with the exception of the 1 or 2 posts how guys have been doing up there? Was wondering how busy it is for camping etc. I realize it is a pretty big unit just wondering if it as crazy as the Nile was the last time I muzzle hunted up there...

I know this is probably a stupid question, but do you guys take your jeeps up the 4X4 trails to elk hunt? Always wondered if the guys up there during the summer see a lot of elk when they are getting out there. I camp up there once in a while and fly fish the rivers and drive around and look for elk, but hunting out of a 4X like that seeems like it would be a lot of fun.

Oh yeah. there area always good pockets that hold elk and the jeeps don't bother teh elk at all. They just stand there and watch you go by 
I know of afew areas that are only accessable by 4x4 or good pair of legs and most see 4x4 trails and move on, thinking that there is nothing around

Is it just me or is that more like peaches ridge or Quartze than the little Naches.

[gasman]

I am on my way out the door and will report back in a week or sooner if we fill our tags  

Good luck all  

[runniNgunnin]

me and our group of 5 hunted from opening until about thursday and came home for the weekend since everyone came up. the opening morning one in our group had a elk down by about 6:30, and hunting was over that morning, then the next evening another guy in our group had one down. we will be goin back up during the week to avoid all the ding bats. good luck everyone!

[gasman]

Back from the hunt.

 

well, once againg i will have to hope late season is more forgiving to me. Seen elk, but not as many as i hoped. Burned al lot of boot leather and got with 100 yards of elk once, but no closer.

  O'well, thats why its called Hunting and not killing 

And nice to finally put a face to Demontang and Quackwacker  nice talkimg with you guys.

I camped up the Ravens Roost road and did most of my hunting between Milk Creek and Spring Creek. We saw animals but not as many as we thought we would. I went up Little Naches rd. a few times and saw a couple elk off the 1912 rd. Wasn't able to close the show either. Fun times though. and perhaps a late season hunt after late deer.

[norsepeak]

don't feel bad Pete, we hunted peaches for two days and saw very few elk, only about 10, but TONS of people up the Lt. Naches.  Fortunately where we hunted, we didn't see anybody...

[DaveBTS]

We came home yesterday. Had a lot of fun. I missed a HUGE bull the 2nd night. It just seemed that if the clouds rolled in, the elk shut down. We had one good morning; called in 6 bulls. Other than that, it was like pulling teeth. Disappointing hunt, but learned a new area.

We found a calf someone shot and left, just off the Milk Cr Trailhead.

Hope everyone had a good hunting trip. My brother been up there scouting almost every weekend (blue dodge), seen some decent bulls but nothing huge. He been going out at raven roost and up the 1901 rd. If anyone wants share info it would help. He has a bull tag for 1-10 oct  with rifle

Heard of a nice 6x6 being chased around by hunters up ravens roost.

Seen a nice 5x5 up Milk Lake. I saw this one and he was a hog 

[Quackwhacker]

We were up there for most of the season. One guy in our group got a nice cow. It was his first kill ever! One guy shot and lost one. I had a bull tag and didn't connect. Pretty sad hunt.  saw lots of elk and had several chances to kill cows but held out for a bull. Guess I will have to shoot one in the late season.

Shouldn't be a problem finding a nice bull on this hunt. My ex father-in-law drew it and got one Oct 1st first hour. Two years later, I drew with nine points and killed a 336 bull first day first hour. We had four bulls going without a single call. The best part of the rut is the last week of September, first week of October. Both of us should have held out. I saw much bigger. I had my kids State Junior Rodeo finals going in Ellensburg. My son won the All Around the next day so I made the right decision to go watch.

Norsepeak. Did you hear of the bobcat that Bills son shot? That was a pretty lucky deal. Did you guys see many other hunters connect up there?

[Instinct]

hey gasman, saw ur rig rollin up to the roost area like thurs or friday cant remember. wouldve waved ya down but was bein lazy in my camp at sandcreek haha... but muledeer, theres a couple bulls around the sand creek camp ground where iwas at that ive heard at night or right bout dusk bugelin. just follow the dirt bike trails and verge off into the woods. fifes ridge, first left. plenty of tracks high up... didnt get my cow yet so rimrock/cowiche here i come for late season.

[jay33ice]

we saw some bulls, but no cows and only one spike and didn't get close to it.  didn't have a bull tag either.  i was surprised at our lack of cow sightings.  it didn't seem to us that the rut was in full swing yet when we packed out on Thurs evening.  Called in one very nice 5X5.  Am hoping to figure something out for late season.  i'd like to fill the freezer!

muledeer.. PM sent maybe

We hunted up there as well, not up the trailhead but up above and someone shot a yearling cow and only took the quarters and backstraps. They wasted all the rib and neck meat. Left it to rot. Not to mention the sick son of a b*&^%$# that take dumps all along the road up there. WTF is wrong with people.

[Instinct]

found a dead doe someone shot n left wth in the first days up at the roost area  i was pissed when i saw her...

[muledeer78]

thanks unluckyjohn will check out next weekend

[gasman]

I found  poached cow elk up in the rock creek area, arrow still broken off in the stomach.

They took the rear hindquarters and back sraps,  but i trhink it was killed before the season started, because of the dryness of the reamins and only being a few days after the season started 

[clhutner]

Wow, sounds like I was definitely in the wrong spots. I didnt see squat, lots of fresh sign, but didnt see any elk at all. Guess I wasnt holding my mouth right. Was around Milk Creek in the red dodge p/u. Didnt see the Barbie Jeep, looked but didnt see it. Talked to someone this morning that was camped just off Milk Creek rd past the pond ther, and he said someone took his stuff out of his tent and camp yesterday. What is the matter with people! Would be nice to catch those guys.

I must have been on the same road you were on, the one with the sick f'r that *censored* in the middle of the road. What the heck....find a stump. By the way that was a nice hill side, full of elk sign.

[gasman]

I never made it down that low.

I stayed up above the lake where the 4x4s and quads were. Did not know of anyone up there that walked in and a full size rig would not make it. Ran in to a guy that tried, and figured out his wheel base was to long, so he backed out and hunted else where.

There was s*&^ all over the place along the road up there disgusting  I agree that was a nice area to hunt.
