Park valley archery

[elkhuntn247]

Any body Bow hunt out Park Valley way? I know its pounded in the rifle season, but how many guys hunt it with a bow? Like up on top? I know there is one CWMU out that way. So this would be more off the Yost side. I have never hunted it, dont plan to just curious.

100% of that area is private property. Most if not all land owners don't allow hunters. As for the cwmu's they aren't very good anymore. Hopefully that helps ya

 

[elkhuntn247]

Thanks for answering my curiosity all I wanted to know

Probably not 100% is private ground, but most of it is. I'd say check out the Grouse Creek CWMU's, if your already around there. Where abouts you lookin?

There's public, do your homework.

actually quite abit of public. Also some good bucks out there. The CWMU's average buck range from 24-28 inches i believe.

There is a lot of open country out there. Bow hunt would be hard, but there are also a lot of deer. Be sure to get a map or something outlining the private property. The land owners out there will tell you everything is theirs.

Thanks guys that sounds about right now.

 

[fullcry]

In fact there is a lot of public ground out there,you just have to learn it like anywere else

humbling me guys.

LOL
There is plenty of Public ground out there. Don't listen to this guy. Look at a few maps and you will be surprized what you find. There are also a ton of trade lands from the CWMU program out there. A bunch of Checkerboard stuff has been filled in with trade lands to make a huge chunk of public ground.

Most people that hunt out there don't know what the heck they are doing. Do your homework and you will do great.

Ha ya I knew there was a good amount out there. I was just thinkin I could be wasting my breath on here with some guys.

But so far it doesnt sound like there are quite as many bow hunters as there are rifle hunters out there. I have a few friend that go out there and say it can be a zoo some years

I spent a weekend out there a few years ago bowhunting and didn't see anyone. Not even road hunters. Even on the muzzleloader there is hardly anyone. The rifle is a pumpkin patch though. Hunters everywhere.

You guys are right, I just did a little homework. Looks like there's alot of public land. Everytime i've passed thru there it looks like its all private. I guess I now know the word ASSume! Go get em!

I have hunted out that way many times. Been out during the archery and didnt see many people but most of the good bucks seemed to know where they were safe on the private. There are a ton of deer out there but just not a lot of good bucks but you spend enough time out there you will find one. Archery hunting would be a blast out there. Plenty of public. Get some good maps and take a gps so you can show the landowners that you are on public ground and not "their" land. I dont think the most of the cwmus out there average anything over a 24" buck or so but definately a few out there that are well over that. Check it out. Its fun country. Water can be the key out in the dry sage country during the archery hunt.

Hunt south of the pavement....
