Title: Stampead pass
Post by: bowpredator on August 26, 2010, 11:09:50 PM: Has anyone here been doimg any scouting up in the stampead pass area for archery elk? I have never hunted up there and a buddy and i have been doing a bit of scouting up there and have seen a few animals. Is there much pressure during the archery season. just wondering if anyone else has been seeing much. Saw a few others up there looking. Any tips on this unit would be greatly appreciated.

Also be aware that there are some jerks around there. I have run into guys who like to block the roads because they think they own the whole place. Good luck to you.
