jarbridge elk

if you do your home work and put your time in.what can you expect to see and does the weather effect this hunt. thks

I had this tag in 2005 and back then I would have told you to try and hold out for a 340 or 350 bull. I don't know how the quality is now. fatrooster.

Which hunt, rifle, archery????

Tons of elk, I mean tons.

Bulls will run to 350/360.I would hold for anything over 325. I have seen groups of 100-150 in the summer early fall. Then the rut hits and watch out.

Rifle the elk will be moving towards winter ground, some of the ground is only a few miles from summer range, others will move an easy 20/30 miles to winter.

which is the better hunt rifle or archery? Because of the quality of nevadas elk hheard I don,t know what area to put in for.I was hoping the Jarbridge wilderness may have better quality.

It is a good hunt and you can see bulls that go over 350 but if you have the late rifle tag and we get heavy snow you will be sol if you don't have snow machines.

As a non-res, I would go with the archery hunt, rifle is in Nov, but is still good, you have to know where to go...

Archery, lots of elk, warm weather and the rut is starting. nothing like hunting the rut.

 

[fatrooster]

I would have to agree with sagebucks about the snow during the rifle hunt.
And like htnfool says, the archery hunt is probably the way to go. When I become eligable to start putting in for the draws again in 2016 I'm going for archery. Probably in the Jarbidge because I love it so much. fatrooster.

I see that Banty Rooster has spelled it correctly. It is JARBIDGE not JARBRIDGE..........I use to spell it wrong too.

P.S. Rooster, I will be seeing Don in June as he and the wife are coming here for his wife's class reunion. Been a few since last time I seem them over there in UT.

If you draw let me know. I will send you in good direction. I have hunted it my whole life.

What unit are you talking about? Is it 076 unit? I have 15 NR points and that was one of the units I put in for.

 

[DirtyTough]

Pretty sure the Jarbidge is in 72.

 

[CAelknuts]

076 is the Pequops east of Wells. Jarbidge is 072.

Thanks for the reply. Did not put in for that unit but my son did for a muzzleloader tag. Nothing but a waiting game now. Did put in for 076,231,111-115, and 104-108-121 all rifle with 15 points. Thought about muzzy but stuck with rifle.
