  1. Bushnell Tanks is as easy as it gets. Easy entry on the road and perfect cell reception from Mt. Ord.. 3 Miles back to the tanks or stop at 2.

    Yep... stop at 2 along the creek to camp, then do a hike to the tanks


  2. Psst... Isagenix whey is the about the best you can get in the US. It comes from New Zealand pasture cows with no hormones added or anything else. I don't know of any whey protein available in the US that high in quality. They have been a client of mine for 9 years... I know the peeps in the lab as friends. It is good stuff. No sales pitch but PM me if you want more info or look them up.

    Some young'uns on this board may not be aware that in the 1970's (when I first started applying for elk) AGFD did have the system previously discussed whereby when you successfully drew a tag you had to wait until year three to reapply for your next elk tag. I really didn't mind that system at the time because I was drawing a tag every 3 years compared to every 6-10 years now! Things have changed since then with many more hunters putting in for less tags in most units. Also, archery elk hunting interest has exploded. In the 1970's and early 1980's it was real easy to draw an archery elk tag. Much different than the current situation unfortunately. That's why I look back at the 1980's and 1990's as the best era for elk hunting...... with the peak elk herd size, and great chances to elk hunt year in and year out.

    I remember putting in for 5B, not getting drawn, so we went down to the G&F office & bought an archery bull tag for units 1, 2, 4, & 27! I started hunting in the late 70's... Horton Creek in unit 27, Boggy, Centerfire, & Wildcat Creeks in unit 1, & Chevelon Butte in 4. Those hunts were so much fun, back before diaphragm calls, & using gas pipe or straight pipe bugles! I also started using an Olt quail call to mimic cow elk & having a ball, & in the early 80's hearing people using diaphragm turkey calls to sound like bulls. Also the year the Larry Jones elk bugle came out & how great we thought it sounded (I believe I still have mine BTW).

     

    Probably dating myself some... :/

  4. I'm looking for suggestions as to a decent motel/hotel in 22 south that could be my home base for the next week and half. Hoping to find an elk this year!

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Avoid Knights Inn unless the cheap price fits your needs. It's a dump.


  5. I'll give John a free bump here. This is gorgeous country. I went to check it out this weekend. The slope is a little more than I expected however that could be a great thing. No-One will obscure your view. Many homes in the area have built on this slope, it's just more than I am used to. As said, I'm still debating because for the price.. you can't go wrong. This property will not go down in value in my opinion. Wow... really nice property John. Dang nice property. It's a shame this area took a hit during the downturn. If anyone is considering this property go look.

     

    By the way... many border patrol and highway patrol live in this division, don't worry about the border.

    The killing of the famous bear is sure to fuel opposition to recent Fish and Wildlife proposal to remove federal protections for grizzly bears in the so-called Greater Yellowstone Area, which could lead Montana, Idaho and Wyoming to approve hunting of the animals. Grizzlies were declared threatened in the 1970s, when hunting, trapping and other issues caused their population to fall below 150.

     

     

     

    Maybe the huggers killed the bear to fuel opposition to delisting the bears?

     

    Oh, and quit naming wild animals.

     

    I'd bet most here have knick names for animals they watch.

     

    Just giving you a hard time!
