Sounds like you got some boot leather to burn.
-
If you don't know already, make sure you go the training center and watch the video and get cleared to be out there.
I would check out the west end near e-burg.
-
ya cascade do you know how much it cost to watch the video
-
$20 for you. Retired military folks it is $15.
-
Good luck! Should be a fun hunt! Be ready to drool over some monster muley's! PM sent!

I've hunted deer on the alkali 2 times and saw most the elk on the west side by the area that is permanently closed to non military personell, they travel off and on the closed area to the open area. I believe it's in or by area 4. The guards at the check in station will also give you some info, good luck.

thanks trophy hunt i will be working my ass trying to get a bull
-
Make sure you have good tread on your tires and I would carry a couple spares, the roads are nasty and sharp. Keep us informed, during your scouting take your rifle and kill some of those coyote's that are running around.
-
i would also like to appologize for this being my first post and asking so much from you guys
-
Everyone has to start somewhere kid, i would rather give you huntn advise as opposed to xbox advise :chuckle:
-
thats for sure lol
-
when would u say i shou;d start scouting
-
When ever the mood strikes you. Got to start sometime. Get to know that place well. Take a gps, you can get turned around in there pretty easy!
-
alright thanks im thinking about nxt weekend are you aloowed to go in there any time you want?

Hey Tanner, Congrats on the Bull tag (and your other tags too!). I'd go out and get registered asap, watch the video and get familiar with some areas. REMEMBER: do not put all your eggs in one basket. Have several options open because they might not let you into an area that you've been scouting all summer. Go talk to the biologist, his name is Brian Knapp. he's a real nice guy. I would also hang out out there during the archery and muzzy seasons and talk to the other hunters. You may learn a lot from them as well. Good luck and have fun!

Tanner Williams? Hit me up with a personal message if this is you.

Good number of elk in there and it is a huge unit, talk to the deer hunters they will tell you where the elk are, it is a little tougher to get "good" info from your competitors I had the tag 2 years ago and got mine. good luck :tup:

congrats on the tag young buck. i have hunted the alkali quite a bit. i got drawn back to back years in 04 and 05 for deer. and was also in there for my buddies tags. my best advice is spend as much time as you can in there learning the roads this summer. because where you want to hunt could be closed any day of your hunt. we seen bulls in area 8 . my buddy killed a big bull in area 2 i believe. i have seen elk in alot of the unit but most of the elk i seen were in area 2,3,4. hope this helps . if you need more help or questions pm me.
-
i will be going net weekend scouting hopefully i can get into them ;) :chuckle:
-
anybody got some pics of any bulls taken out of this unit??
