youngbuck Report post Posted October 17, 2011 I got a call to help a guy in 5a tomorrow for a cow hunt. I haven't spent much time up there looking for critters. I'll be close to FR141. I normally don't ask for info, but this was a last minute deal. If you do have info you'd like to share, please PM me. Can you glass much there? I'd feel pretty bad if I couldn't find one cow, just wondering what to expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaibabHunter Report post Posted October 17, 2011 I haven't been in there but have been across the highway in 6a. They were bugling pretty hard last week. Find/follow the bugles and try the edges of any steep draws and canyons. Across the hwy is all pine/oak - assumming it's the same terrain on ur side. They were answering cow calls and bugles but wouldn't come in. We ended up taking ours on a tank from a blind in the last 30 mins of light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted October 18, 2011 It's been several years since I've hunted that area. There is a large, old burn area along FR300, east of FR95 (Fred Haught Ridge). It is 1/4 - 1/2 mile of open burn between FR300 and the Rim edge, for a couple miles. It used to be, if you were the first one in the morning to drive that stretch of FR300 you'd see a lot of elk, and some deer. Eventially, they bail off into the canyons on the north side of the road. This location is about 10 miles from FR141/300 junction. I think you have the same scenario if you go west from FR300/141....large open burn area along the Rim. I don't recall how far it is. Gotta be the first one there though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
