Neverdrawn37A Report post Posted July 7, 2022 Went up to 6A on 4th of July weekend to camp and check out some of the areas I was going to hunt for the early archery bull tag I have this year. Took the Munds park exit to get up to the northern part of the unit and holy s**t what a mad house on the forest roads through there! 5th wheels at every camping spot for the first 5 miles in past the neighborhood, Razors/quad/ dirt bikes racing up and down constantly, dust everywhere. No offense to some of people on here with those Razors, but I just don't get the appeal of it. Anyways, not taking that way in anymore to say the least. Once I got up to where I wanted the crowds thinned out and went up a rough forest road and didn't see anyone for about 2 miles which was nice and didn't see a soul in the woods while out scouting the whole weekend. Was in elk as soon as I started setting up my camp Saturday evening, heard cows and an occasional weak bugle so decided to check it out before dark, walked up on a huge herd with tons of calves, cows and spotted two young bulls with them as well which was cool. Next morning heard elk again at sunrise from camp and headed out on a hike to check out the area. Was in elk throughout the day, continuing to bump into the same one or two herds. One herd at at least 50 healthy looking calves and the weird thing was there was a couple Antelope mixed in with the herd traveling with them which I had never seen before. Ran it to at least 6 different elk skeletons picked clean (I am assuming lion kills). Bumped into a couple small bulls (got within 40 yards of one). Saw mule deer, 2 gobblers, and tons of elk, never seen so much game in a weekend. On the way out, Mormon lake was full of herds of elk as well. Tanks I checked out had decent water in them but still seemed pretty dry overall up there even though I know they've had some monsoon rain so far. Also, didn't notice any trail cams on the tanks so looks like maybe people following the new law... Here's some pics and looking forward to the hunt in September: 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
