Hello, I was lucky enough to draw a mid season bull tag for the Table Mountains this year. I wont be scouting until mid October due to prior engagements for the next 4-5 months, so I had a few general questions to get me started. Do most hunters without horses camp in or outside the wilderness area? I guess one of the bigger questions is how will the weather be (6 Nov-20 Nov)? Is it worth taking a side x side for travel outside the wilderness? I really appreciate any help with this, its going to be a long 5 months!

I killed a bull on table 2 years ago during the muzzleloader season which was late October. PM me if you want some info.

My dad or I draw an archery cow tag in there just about every year. We backpack and camp in the wilderness area every year we hunt even though its just a cow tag. Takes a lot of work, but it is well worth it. Extremely pretty country

Just back from this weekend. Weather is still good, with little or no snow (this could change any day) with some cold mornings. Animals appear to be spread out with sign most everywhere we were, both high and low.
My Son has a bull tag late, so I am also looking for any info to make this a successful hunt (this will be his first elk tag).

Thanks for the info, ill let you know how my hunt when I get back. With the late tag are you planning on camping low and hunting out of a base camp? I'm still undecided on base camp or hiking in for a few says at a time. Good luck to you and your son.

The plan is undecided, and will depend on the weather. If the weather is nice(er), we will likely spike camp on top, at least a night or two. If it is cold or plenty of snow, we will be out of a base camp.

Getting closer to my son's bull hunt that opens on the 21st. A couple of weekends ago, we were able to connect with two smaller bucks and a cow up on top- plenty of meat packing that took me a couple days to recover from.
Weather continues to be mostly stable with no measurable snow, even up on top, so I am expecting animals to be spread out and at the higher elevations, no reason for them to come down.
Any intel to help a 14 YO first time elk hunter to be successful would be appreciated.

Hi, hunted late season deer in 16. Saw more elk than deer. If you wish to hike go to mosquito creek trail head and start hiking. We saw a huge herd of elk (we started counting and my son and I think there was well over 150 with 6-7 bulls). Very few deer. Heck of a hike for this old man!

My son punched his tag on a smaller 4 pt. He just wanted a legal bull, though we were seeing elk every day of the hunt, no larger bulls, but plenty of cow/calf groups. 4 solid days of before light till after dark hunting to make this happen. Good times and a huge step forward for him as he was willing to hike 6 miles one way into the wilderness to hunt. Plenty of cows up top in the wilderness if you are willing to hike in.
