creed Report post Posted April 18, 2014 Was thinking of heading up to the Sawmill Hills area next month to do some scouting. Just curious if there is anyone that has hunted this area? I guess my main question is how is the hunting pressure? Lots of hunters? What about road conditions? Can I get a tent trailer anywhere near there? I drew this same tag last year and there were a lot more hunters in the area I hunted than in previous years. I am very familiar with parts of the southern/eastern parts of the unit but have never been too far north of Turkey Mt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buffhunter Report post Posted April 18, 2014 Just make sure you drive the 82b road to get in there.......lol ........ well if you dont value your kidneys.... the sawmill's can be hot or cold just depends on how much pressure it gets and what day of the travel cycle the elk are on. It seems like they will be in there for a day or two and then gone for a few days and then back in there again..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Draw Report post Posted April 18, 2014 I've seen that area with a few hunters and I've seen it covered up with a lot of hunters. Unfortunately, you probably won't know the pressure situation until opening morning. Definitely worth scouting, though. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector777 Report post Posted April 18, 2014 Are you just scouting to check out the land and surrounding area? Because any elk you find somewhere right now is going to be long gone by the time September rolls around. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed Report post Posted April 18, 2014 Are you just scouting to check out the land and surrounding area? Because any elk you find somewhere right now is going to be long gone by the time September rolls around. . That is exactly what I am doing. I have hunted the unit a couple of times but am totally unfamiliar with the Sawmill area. I wanted to get a feel for the terrain and what roads were open. Maybe some info on past hunting pressure. I am going to have time for a scouting trip in a month and then one more in late August. I will decide then where to hunt. Thanks for the replies. They are appreciated.
