In 2005 when we were in that area deer hunting, very early one morning we had some Elk coming across road 229 at the southern end of the East Humbolts. Check your maps close, I think 104 is on the south side of 229. The north is 101 and was BLM out there to the base I think, again check your maps close. Good luck.

for this hunt i would 102 the elk are usually out in the pivots and you can watch them to see were they go to bed. I have the same tag but the late season

Had late archery in 04 and saw old elk sign within a mile of where kilowatt saw his. Not much for elk country and they don't want any in there according to F&G. I think the E humbolts are 102 though. Hunted the high country south of Lamoille Canyon to Mohogany Canyon in 05. Early rifle. No bugles, no sign. For what its worth.

East Humbolt Mountains are with the following: I-80 on the north, Hwy 229 down the west side from Halleck through Secret Pass to the turn off heading East on 229 to the Junction of 93. This is Unit 101.
The Rubies are in 102 which goes to Harrison Pass.

in my opinion, that is the best tag to have in area 10 for elk becasue it is during the bugle. any elk in the area should be vocal so do some calling. in '04, i had an archery deer tag up there in august and heard quite a few of them talking then. we hunted secret pass and apparently some of the other deer hunters had seen some elk in there. i dont know if theyre there anymore but call call call to at the very least locate animals and then you will know if you are in the right area or not. good luck, ill be hunting cow elk down south in 222. it took me 3 points to get the tag (whats up with that, i got 3 cow tags the first 4 years i applied?!) but im going to take a week and make the most of the hunt.


Happy Hunting

spend some time glassing off of 93 between Clover valley and 229, I had a bull tag, and durring my scouting I saw a lot of cows over there. I killed a 320" bull a couple weeks ago on the north side of Secret Pass, but never saw a cow. I did see some on the south side of the road. Stop and talk to Jared Sorenson.
The elk have not been in Neff's pivots this summer, so it will do you no good to sit on them. do some road hunting down around the marshes, and over Overland pass. Don't count on aany of that bulls gone wild stuff durring the rut. most of these bulls forgot how to bugle when they got lost in area 10.

Like the guy said a couple of posts up I saw a spike bull up near secret pass while I was on the bow hunt didnt see any cows. It was really weird too every time I was him he was running with 3 does, anyone ever see deer and elk run together, I was under the impression that deer hated elk.

And as a side note, buy a cat tag, they are EVERYWHERE up there, especially in the PJ's right around Harrison. It would be doing everyone a favor.
