Title: white river archery
Post by: Bigbuckoholic on June 13, 2012, 06:04:30 PM: I drew the tag finally!! :IBCOOL:
So freaking excited. I know you guys get this every year...
but got any advice on the unit? I plan on scouting my butt off!
I really only know 72 road.. and I will not be purchasing a Hancock permit. (I got drawn for any season deer too so kinda broke and have a mad girlfriend.): :chuckle:
if anybody has any advice please share I would be more then grateful. Never been lucky enough to harvest an elk bit put alot of hard hours in.
Hopefully its finally my year!!

Post by: TheHunt on June 14, 2012, 11:55:58 AM: 73 road and there's a few off shoots from there with trails at the crest that you can run down with some medows. Check out Google Earth then take a ride up there.

We hunted up around Corral Pass- Castle Mt and saw/called in some really nice bulls...it was a little later in the season though, towards Oct......dont know the elk unit boundaries either...Might be a place to checkout.... :dunno:

Post by: Bigbuckoholic on June 14, 2012, 01:35:20 PM: I've seen a couple big clearcuts down below. Is that how it is all the way up? Or is it mostly thick timber?
Title: Re: white river archery
Post by: sirmissalot on June 14, 2012, 01:42:51 PM: The spot I'm talking about is black timber with big open meadows... elk heaven.
