Curious if anyone has been to Manastash lately? wondering if they are talkin yet. I drew special permit for it in late October. I am getting married this coming weekend so I cant make it over. I will be there the following two weekends to scout. Any info would be great!! Thanks in advance. I know im the only *censored* getting married lol
-
It's been real quiet so far.
-
You know you're scouting right in the middle of archery season.
-
Well hopfully things will pick up next week when I head over.
-
They've been quiet. The Nile they are tearing it up.

I was over last weekend and the bow boyz were setting up camp, staking out their spots, and marking their territory. Saw a few deer and some thrashing sign and fresh scat from a bull that wanted to let the world know he was there...4000ft drop of to the canyon below...around shadow creek. Still to warm for them to be anywhere but the cool hidyhole. Good luck and to bad you are getting married during hunting season...bad timing...for the rest of your hunting life.
-
Ya my timing isnt the greatest but the week before isnt too bad. Plus its on labor day weekend which means every anniversary we can take a trip to scout ;) They have been bugling pretty good over this way.
-
Weddings come and go. This is a hunt of a lifetime, so invest your time wisely :chuckle: :rolleyes: :P
Just kidding. Congratulations on the marriage and make that first in all things.
-
ok wedding is over now its time to get after it!! D-Rock yes I know its archery season. Would it make you feel better if I hunted while I was scouting since I have the multi season tag. I just want to poke around and see what the ground is like and look for some critters.
-
I was up there last weekend and I heard some chatter going on in the morning and at night. So they're talking at least up at the higher elevations.
-
I was there yesterday morning and heard nothing, I bugled a couple times and had no response.
-

haven't hunted that unit for a few years but got elk three years in a row with my bow hunting around water....always found them in the evenings headed to the creeks coming down off the hills...if i remember right we were around buck meadows (?) always found them at last light in the creek bottoms. by first light they were way up on ridge tops
-
Has anyone seen anything in this unit yet this season? I’ve tromped it from high to low and I’ve seen nothing but old sign. Very few hunters too and those that I’ve talked to haven’t seen much either.
-
the bulls are there , not moving much and the preasure really shut them up . lots of bow hunters around tamerak ridge .Steep and deep ;)
-
Coach, your boy get on a bull yet? Saw some cows and had a small bull screaming in that general area last weekend on my way home from the high hunt.
