clintb Report post Posted March 25, 2020 My nephew drew a left over youth elk tag for 5A. I have never been there, I'm planning on taking him and his brother up for the youth turkey hunt, so we can get some bearings. I ordered a forest service map and am scouring the net for info. Couple of questions 1. Places to stay or should I plan on taking my camper? 2. Road conditions, I have been in units 1, 27, 3A. Are the forest roads similar? 3. Should I contact Clear Creek Ranch for access? Any other info would be appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted March 25, 2020 Lots of cows on the clear creek ranch, also back at the pine brake. Good luck to the kid. These guys will hook you up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jknister Report post Posted March 25, 2020 Last year 5A was closed the entire youth turkey hunt due to extreme wet roads. Hope its open this year. I can help a little concerning the turkeys if you want 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigj23 Report post Posted March 26, 2020 I will be helping with 5A cow tags there. It is a great unit and should not be a hard tag to fill. I killed my last two bulls in 5A and spend time up there after the hunt. Bulls should still be talking and have some cows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted March 26, 2020 Tons of turkeys in that unit, you shouldn't have a problem tagging out. Lots of camping right off the hiway or call and look into cabins at Clint's Well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesFanatic Report post Posted March 26, 2020 How do you know he drew? Youth have no portal. I was under the impression I have to wait for my son to see what comes in the mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just kidding, the youths can have a portal account, after a certain age, I think 12 or 13. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But on those early hunts you can hit the pines too, and there are more elk in the pines. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
