Looking into drawing this hunt this year. Seeing if anyone was interested in sharing some general info about the unit. I was an Oregon resident up til December, when my job relocated me to California.... Anyways, I am sitting on 6 PP's for elk that I would like to use, and thinking of a SR 2nd season bull tag....
I am fully aware of the physical demands of this unit, as I plan to go in on foot and bivy however far necessary. I have done plenty of back country hunts 10+ miles in and thousands vertical feet with all my gear on my back.... and I know that this could be much more difficult than any of the others I have been on. There's just something about that country that I am infatuated with.... and then the part that I am a glutton for punishment!
My questions are:
Typical weather for this time of year? I expect there to be a high possibility of snow, but how much on a typical year? What are my odds of unexpectedly waking up to 4 feet of snow one morning?
Any general areas to stay away from? I don't really want to pack 10 miles into an area and find that it is the most popular spot for people set up in their drop camps or guided hunts.... (no offense to any packers or guides out there)
Any general areas that you would recommend researching? South, Middle, North end of the unit? I don't expect anyone to give up any honey holes, but if you want to point me in a direction worth researching I would appreciate it.
Anything else that you would like to share?
Feel free to PM me
Thanks!
