A hunter could find some good success in the early season around areas like French Butte an Badger Peak. Early season North Facing slopes should hold deer and elk. South slopes (where the ripe berries are) should hold your bears.
The areas around the the south side of the Monument hold early season elk and deer populations. Perfect for bowhunters.

I have gained acess by trying to give more than I ask for (some times it works sometimes not). That might just mean driving on a scouting trip and buying dinner, sometimes it encompasses much more. I think often times I try to pay it forward just in case I need info even general info.. :twocents: :twocents:

Ha, Ha! Do any of you regulars know which areas in 560 produces the larger bulls?
Yep! Far away from the half hearted and road hunters.

Dead wrong. Many here, especially me, welcome new members.but that's for those who show up with stuff to share: stories, pictures, etc. Not asking for stuff out the gate.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Ha, Ha! Do any of you regulars know which areas in 560 produces the larger bulls? There are nearly 3000 rifle hunters in 560, so it's not like a big secret? If this Forum makes fun at the new guys expense, I guess I'll look elsewhere. CC.
Get thicker skin and laugh more.

I have been hunting that unit for over 20 years. Took me about 5 years to find our honeyhole. Let the shoe leather hit the ground and then study a lot of maps. Good luck in your scouting.

I know you are asking for which side but this is a huge unit. I have only hunted over in the old Marble unit where I have seen a few nice 5x5's but never a 6 (archery). These bulls you are talking about can be anywhere in this unit. Larger bulls in this unit are most likely a long way from the roads and the hunters that take them put a lot of work into finding them.
If you are only looking for larger bulls, get out and scout, its the only way to get what you are looking for. No one here is being mean and are more then willing to have discussions when they know who they are talking to ;)....the rest is research!
Good luck

Go scout man, do the leg work . Your right its no big secret but thats what your asking for is the peoples secret spots that hold monster bulls. Use your maps and figure it out!!

I'm starting to understand the attitude towards newbies coming in on their first post asking for the proverbial "tied up bull". It does take some major cahones to ask where to find a big bull and then act all hurt when people don't give GPS coordinates. Interesting perspective.
:tup:
John, we are heading up last weekend in July for some scouting. I will PM you to let you know where we will be incase you wanna stop by. will have a seat by the fire for ya.

Heck, I could have been real nice.. told him to go to the top of snagtooth, then start hunting... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Other than, if you want to shoot a big bull, dont shoot a small one.
:twocents:
The Elk are going to be spread all over unit, not like they all hang around the same cows, and live in the same drainage.....
