Jazz Report post Posted November 26, 2021 Here we go. Again! Probably won't get the Yukon done in time for a last minute scout- (switching out the transfer case and a new yolk is ordered) and I'm busting at the seams ready to go. I've spent some time there this past month- lost a cam. By lost I mean someone acquired it. Suddenly roads with a lot of elk activity are closed. (Those wonderful yellow stickers that magically appear on the brown signs) - that kinda sucks. They closed them in mid Nov. Probably during the late archery hunt. (And what's really odd is sometimes they only post that on one road entrance, but not the others.) I really love 7E. Not tons of elk, but I'm hopeful the lower resident herds don't move far. I'm heading up the 1st just to chop enough wood for 7 nights. Or I'll hit Flag and get a pickup full from someone selling. Got three tags this year- me and the boy, and one of my friends that has never hunted a day in his life. Should prove interesting. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZorion Report post Posted November 26, 2021 Jazz, was up there last weekend and saw the same road closure signs on roads that I was on in the deer hunt. We are headed up that way as well on the 1st of Dec, hopefully will be able to spy up some cows as we have only seen one group this scouting season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted November 27, 2021 I've seen those sign pop up in 23 too and would love to know the reasoning behind them. Good Luck with your hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G_E_E Report post Posted December 3, 2021 Good luck to you guys. I was there last weekend helping some buddies on their late bull hunt. SUPER TOUGH hunt, the elk just weren't anywhere I've seen them in the past few years. Hopefully they'll move into the more glassable country for you, the only recent sign for any elk were in the thick timber, all we saw was a flash of 2 running away. Has been unseasonably warm too. Just when I thought I had 7E figured out, got punched in the gut and humbled. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta find some water to sit or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitting water is out of the question- they’re straight up nocturnal now. I’m in a good area, we’re glassing up bedding from hill to hill. Wasn’t too far from last years spot- fresh sign all over and new tracks everywhere. I think they’re up high and in the nasties during the day. Wondering what kind of storm is coming tomorrow.

They love the absolute last minute of light. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazz Report post Posted December 10, 2021 We came home empty handed. Was a blast though- everyone had a good time. We were in the right place, just didn't see them. Looking forward to next year! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
