ACTS_238 Report post Posted September 5, 2013 I know labor day weekend is probally the worst time to be scouting. There were a TON of dirt bikes, quads, and APV's. But over all we had a good time. We took the time to just move around the northern half of the unit an explore some areas that looked promissing on the Topo map. Met some great people who were more than willing to share thier history hunting the unit, which we were very greatful for. Big thanks to Bob and his wife Diane for sharing thier knowledge with us.!! I do have a question; The Elk in Morman lake, do they just stay out there? We ran into some guys that were telling us they have watched people trying to belly crawl in for a shot and had a great laugh! I bet that would be hilarious to see. Anyway they are awesome to watch, just wish I had better optics to really see good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturegirl Report post Posted September 6, 2013 We hunted labor day in the area. If you need any help as the hunt gets closer, feel free to PM me. We helped a youngin fill their cow tag last year in 6A north. It should be a great hunt with the opportunity to see a lot of animals! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirRoyal Report post Posted September 6, 2013 Go to the Quiet zone behind Lake Mary it's awesome. It's a real hunting experience but not hard for a young person! One road in, the rest are closed this time of year! Lots of elk. The great thing is your not hunting from the truck! Here's some proof . She was 12 and she 3rd eyeballed that cow at 100yds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted September 6, 2013 VERY awesome pics, SirRoyal! Also very cool that your little one has a tag this year, ACTS! Along with awesome pics, SirRoyal gave good advice. Get off the roads a 1/4-1/2 mile or more, and you will likely find elk. Quiet Areas are a great place in 6A! S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACTS_238 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 Hey Thanks guys for the advice, Just logged in this morning as I was filling my Archery Deer tag up in unit 7 this weekend, Got it done monday morning. Yes we will be hunting the quite area north of Morman lake, I just wonder how were going to pack out that ELK! Just my Daughter and I! But I cant wait it will be fun seeing her take her first Big game animal, and she will have to do the field dressing! HAHA I will help of course... When She puts one down, maybe my buddie MulieHunter will come over from unit 7 and helps us pack it out! He will be helping his boy on his deer hunt that same week.
