Manashtash elk advice?

[brent123]

Hey guys! I have a muzzleloader cow tag for the manashtash unit! I heard its hot over there, so I would think they would be up high. Any advice on how to get into elk?

find water and plan on burning lots of boot leather!  86degrees today!

I'd look in the thick stuff during the day.  Early mornings and evenings the elk will be near meadows.  If you know any spots you've seen elk before check them out.  The little herds are just spread out over that unit.  Be prepared to take one out in pieces.

in an area like that shoot the first cow you see, don't be picky.

gimmie if you hunt hard at all. not to high 

[br8kitoff]

plan on a good hike to get away from the orv trails and traffic.  The Elk there are skiddish and move quick

Try up towards buck meadows....there was quite a few up there a few weeks ago and a lot of sign (fresh tracks in the rain/mud) crossing the roads in small herds.  Good luck!

one of our hired guys will be hunting up there as well. he has told me about the unit, i have never hunted it. it sounds like there is decent elk in there. i also the 2nd the note of shoot the first cow you can.

find an open canyon and let other push them to you.........lots of country up there and the elk are in little herds........

good luck......................

2 words, Shadow Creek.....

  Below Tammarack Springs, Shadow Creek, or Hutchins RD.  Look for the heavy cover in the canyons if there is alot of pressure.  Never hunted Muzzy season.  Canyons with water especially if its still hot.  Was cooler and rainy archery season.  Theyre not hard to find though.  You should do good.  If I had a cow tag I would never pass the first one up, but you should see a few for shure.  I would say you have a good tag and should do good.

And get out of the truck !!

Let me know how you do.  Im heading over this weekend to scout for my bull hunt in October

I was out there last week. i saw cows from elk heights to frost mountain. I would send you to tamarack springs though they were thick in there. just get outta your rig spin in a circle and start walking that direction you should be done by nightfall if you have the luck i was in the area.
