Got a call yesterday morning from my brother in law Jim. He and his son Casey had a bull down and needed packers. Nephew Chris, and Jim's son in law Norm filled out the crew.

Chris and I made fast work capping, and quartering out, with Casey, & Norm taking the loads out to the truck. We had the bull to the road in under hour and a half. That was with lots of B.S. and picture taking.

Does the National forest land in White river unit still out Elk or decent opportunities?

Ah geez, duh...! Let me try that again. .....

Is the National Forest land within White River unit worth a hunter's time for Elk hunting?

trophyhunt · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2010, 12:31:03 PM »

Depends on a lot of things, how hard you a willing to hunt, the size of bull you are after, how many points you want to put up for an area that certainly isn't the best choice. I grew up hunting in the white river and have killed a half dozen bulls in the unit, would I put my 16 points up for it- hell no. But I would put 1 to 8 points up for the tag if I could hunt in the rut, other than that the indians take far too many elk out of there. That being said the backcountry is where I took 99% of my elk, and the indians don't hunt that far in.

There's still a few good bulls if you work for them.

I 100% agree with you on that, one of the biggest elk I've ever seen was in the white river a few years ago. The last year before they went to permit only, he was about a 365 to 370 bull. The local gamie has it in his garage, it was found dead the next year on the road by a state patrol man.
