Does anyone here hunt the modern season in 560 for elk. Not looking for any hunting tips just wondering how busy it gets.

560 has some real honey holes but figure on lot'sa help for the extreme packs involved. I hunted it for 30 years with a great deal of success before giving in to my advanced age and abilities. Over 100 x's on the map we've kept of all our party's kills. Might just sell that map some day. Maybe enhance my retirement.
Yep lots of help from what i am gettin. for the last 4 years been doing the east side NOW coming back to the west side hunting the same area 560........... real skeptical on what is going to happin BUT thinking possitive because we will hunt the SH#T out of what ever area we descide on, :) done lots of research....... talked to lots of people. i think all will turn out good.
Good luck

I've been hunting there for 3 or 4 years and my dad has his whole life. 30 some years and he's only taken 1 bull. I've never even seen a bull during hunting season,besides in the back of trucks ;)

Going scouting this weekend in 560 even know it will be the opener for deer. Never hunted this area in the modern season before I've always been up there for muzzleloader. Curious to see how much of a zoo it is, during muzzy season I vary rarely see another hunter.

Didn't know it was open for Muzzy? When did you hunt it with a muzzle loader? Was that for deer?

Maybe time to find another unit or hunting spot?

Oh, I see this is a really old thread with a recent reply. Still, I wonder when he was hunting Muzzy in 560? I wish....
Maybe he hunted 574/578 with a muzzleloader, near the border with 560, which would be in the Southeast corner of 560. I don't know. But I don't remember there ever being a muzzleloader season in 560 either.
