Title: GMU 388 and 382
Post by: Skinnyman on June 21, 2010, 07:47:01 AM: Has anyone ever hunted these GMU's (I haven't). Not a lot of animals taken, but also not alot of hunters, so the success rates are high. Just curious about them. The regs say any elk. Which makes me wonder a few things, are there not a lot of elk to be had in the area, or they are trying to diminish the elk population in that area, or it is in a migratory area and the majority of the elk haven't migrated to that area yet by hunting season. Just curious why the success rates are high, it is an any elk area for an eastside tag, and more people don't hunt it??

Thanks!!

The elk in 388 is hard to find to the point the locals struggle to find them. I would recommend hunting some where else. People get lucky at times. I am very familar with both units. I live in the area. Hope this helps.
