grayback gmu 388

[Built4Outdoors]

Grayback has resident Elk, I would say they are moderate to very difficult to hunt because they move around so much. You will most likely get a cow at best. Although, my family has some land in 388 and they saw a 3pt bull one year and several cows. I have personally seen 40-60 elk this time of year bedded on their property but they move off and split up before elk season. The simcoe's still have snow on them so this might be a good year. Good Luck!

thanks everyone for all the input . I was wondering about the elk just because it is open both deer and elk in both early and late seasons for archery. My dad used to hunt that area pretty well and we have talked about going and running around the unit to see what pans out. well if anyone gets more info please still keep the thred going. I'll post back up when i go down and scout it out.

Bowguy, if you want, let me know when you come down. I might be able to help you out and I'm always up for going in the mountains. Saturdays work best for me.

Just looked at the harvest reports for 388, says no elk were taken in 388 last year. Is that right?

No that is not right, me and my brother hunted that GMU last year and seen elk every day but we also hike about 10 miles a day, we seen 4 elk taken off that mountain 3 of them being nice big bulls.

Do you know what side of the hill they came from? I know of a few that came off the hill so I am not sure whats up with the harvest reports.

People didn't submit their harvest report...thats whats up.

[carpsniperg2]

Out of the hundreds of people that hunt up here I am sure that a few of them did, I know a few of the guys that shot elk last year and they are pretty strait up guys. I would think that something else was wrong with the system. We have seen it before. I am sure a few people kill animals and say they didn't on the reports but most are 2 cheap to not report and pay the fine.

I hunt the east side of 388, see a few elk every year but not that many, I would concentrate more on the west of 388 and get as high as you can if you want to target the elk, work the border of the res.

Bump, anyone else?

Went up a week ago saturday for a half day and didn't see any elk sign but saw a lot of bear sign. Probably head up there sometime this week for bear calling.
