[QUOTE="429421Cowboy, post: 799284, member: 54332"] It isn't a huge area to hunt, but there can be a ton of elk in there! It is nice because the size of the area means you don't HAVE to pack a camp in if you don't want to, there are hitchin' rails and outhouses in the campgrounds so we stay there in a camper rather than pack in a tent camp. It is only a little ride or walk in in the morning to be back to the elk, then its find a herd, or get run over by one if somebody pushes them your way. Closer you get to the lake, less people you see (Willow creek campground or Elkhorn campground) and more deer, but once the elk get pushed around they are all over in there. It opens in the 15th of May and you can drive in all the way till the 15th of September when they lock the gates at the campgrounds. We'll be going in bear hunting at the end of the month and scout around, and then again for fall bear season, there are plenty of bears back in there. At the middle of the season the manager who lives on the game range told us that there was 3000 head of elk on there coming over from the Sieben side and headed towards the lake. Just some rambling about the area, it's not that far from the Electric City so i would say just run up there and nose around once it opens here next month! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
