Ed67 Report post Posted August 4 For the lucky ones with unit 1 early archery/muzz/rifle tags the green up is great, water everywhere, tanks full, water in the road ruts. I’ve been camped here 4 days and 3 hours of lte afternoon rain is standard. I had the tag in 2020 and it was much drier. Good luck. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idgaf Report post Posted August 4 My daughter has a late season bull tag for the area. Let's just say I like her chances at a bigger bull than most of the early season hunters will get a chance at 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed67 Report post Posted August 4 They are definitely spread out right now and unless things change sitting water might not be productive in the early seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 6 The boy and I were up there this past week. I was amazed how many people were camped middle of the week. We didn't see much for elk, but saw a ton of turkeys. Tried to kill a coyote or two to help them out, but wasn't able to. Beautifully green and a couple of great rainstorms up there. It should be a great year! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
