Any Opinions?

[Instinct]

So since everyone is out of the nile, will elk be moving more or be calm? I didn't see a elk or tracks crossing the general area where I've been seeing em but then again it was snowing. Any thoughts?

Hey, Norse, How was your hunt

How high are we talkin about

[gasman]

We parked where the 1600 and 1606 meet and waled up up the road. There is a clear cut they have been using just above there and have been bedding right along teh road up there, but remember, the snow was 2 feet deep and you don;t want to get stck up there     Not many people traveling that high to help if you get in to trouble.

Gasman,

How much snow has fallen around there since Sunday?  I was hunting around Swamp Creek and I know the elk were traveling around there last week.  That is a little lower than where 1600 & 1606 meet.

There was atleast 2 feet of snow on Tuesday morning when we were there.

We were up around Swamp Creek on Sunday and did not see any track heading any place. We did talk with a guy that was camped neer the ridge and they saw 1 cow on Saturday and big bull on Friday. They were thinking of moving camp when we talked to them. A couple of the guys tryied different areas to look for improved hunting areas over Swamp Creek

Go after them bucks n elk that rolls n. Leave here at 430am n get n bout a mile wth some night to spare. See how it goes

You Know, We sure did see a lot of people and rigs parked in the Blue Forest hunting. Though it was kinda out of the ordinary for people to be hunting it, for this is the first time I have seen people in there, most time they just park at the end of teh Blue Forest and hike up, but this year they were hunting and parking right in front of the gates and walking behind teh signs that clearly say "KEEP OUT".

Blue Forest if you are talking about the Nile Creek ranch property I threw 2 guys out of there this past weekend.  No permit,  just trespassing.  No parking at the gates!  As of Saturday there was only 6 permits to be on the ranch,  and even with the permits you are not allowed to park at any of the gates.

Hell, we seen 3 rigs parked at one gate on Saturday and guys walking oin and out every time we drove by. There was even a guy in a truck with a orange vest sitting waiting for some thing to cross the road 

Whats with having a permit to hunt it, I have never heard of that 
( how do i get one  )

[NWWABOWHNTR]

The guy with the orange vest was waiting for one of the guys with permits to come out.  He should have been on the other side of the road,  was he in a white F150?  You can stop at the gate to unload or drop off people but that is it.

Yeah, he was on teh othe rside of the road, not blocking any gates.

I do believe there was 2 suburbans and blazer by one of the gates. Ribka was with us when we saw them and we tought it was strange.
