Rubies depredation 101- 103 cow tag

[lvgrizfan]

Hi Drew the 101- 103 depredation cow elk tag, i’m going to head up in August to do some scouting, I have been told the best time to hunt that area is during the rut. If anybody can give me some advice or if anybody’s hunted this tag in this area before if you could help me out, that would be great. I know it’s a longshot, but at least it gets me out of the house and gets me out in the field this year.

Thanks, Tom

I’ve been on that hunt twice both times were the bull tag. Round one was my friend we hunted five or six days ending in tag soup. I had The tag two years ago. What I learned is Elk where you find them.I Spent nine days scouting I saw elk most days. Seeing them was one thing getting one and getting it out in a timely matter was my concern in these units. I did my legwork scouting because I only had a few days with help to pack out a elk if I got one . I got my bull the second day of the season and it was 102 degrees out and was glad I had five people with me. I got good info from a couple different ranchers out there were some elk are hanging out They didn’t wanna give the info away at first till I reminded them why this exist and they are the ones that didn’t want the elk there! I had a few elk that I had patterned leaving private fields onto public land before the Hunt stated. Always wanted a velvet bull.

I’ve hunted 103 Mitchell creek. The road goes all the way to the top. There’s good camping. Not sure if there is elk there but it’s big country. Good luck

Thanks for the info, I’m looking forward to heading up and scouting for a week, the season runs from August 01 to January 01, so I have time. Im ready for a pack out, I thought about that already, but I’m going to give it a try, I’m excited for a tough hunt. Thanks again.

Hi Tom, I drew a 10 dep bull tag and just got back from a week long hunt of not seeing anything. I was wondering if you had any advice or tips on areas to check out. I spent most of my time down in 103 and saw little sign and no elk. Thanks Chris
