outdooraz Report post Posted June 28, 2010 Has anyone hunted cow elk in Dry Lake area before? I bought a tag this year and was looking for information regarding scouting, success, etc. Thank you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 28, 2010 I have not bought a tag for elk there before, but there are a lot of cow elk around Dry Lake. There is a road that heads West along the lake and then into some meadows. Saw lots of cows there recently. Also, there are alot of elk in the entire unit and you don't really have to focus on Dry Lake itself. I suggest getting a recreation permit and spending some time out there getting to know the roads and looking for sign. Is your tag in November? If you don't have time to scout, I suggest you get a good guide and they can make you more successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outdooraz Report post Posted June 29, 2010 Thanks for the info Amanda. The hunt date is 10/23 - 10/31. Reading their website it appears you can only scout 72 hours prior to the hunt. I guess a recreational permit or a varmint would get you out and about. I'd curious what the guide charges are compared to state land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would have to ask the guides what they charge, I don't know and I am sure it varies from guide to guide. That is a great time for a hunt, some of the elk will still be bugling so that will help in located herds. I hope to be up there in mid-Oct to squirrel hunt. It's a gorgeous area and I love to camp up there. Some pics of Dry Lake from a recent trip...the lake is very full... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
