WY Area 48 Type 6

[Nuklhed]

Is anyone out in that area now?

 

[Nuklhed]

I'm debating on going back during the week of Thanksgiving to try again.

Beaglegun; could you have paid the trespass fee and gone after them? I think Orchard was 200 and Clear Creek was 150.
Spratt has a bunch of HMA ground, too.

From my understanding, this part of Orchard is a $3000 cow hunt so, NOOOOO!

 

[beaglegun]

Do they allow any bull hunting? I'm sure it would be more than those prices if so.

Bull is double the trespass fee on land we hunted, but I never saw a bull anywhere when we were in the area.

I was thinking the same but it snowed about 4" when we were there and the 2 tracks were slick mud with tire cutting rocks on the sides. I'm thinking you would need an atv but I'm from KY.

$3K?? Dang, for that much money, I think I could buy a cow off a ranch!

I'm keeping an eye on the weather. Badwater, WY is looking like the 50's this coming week for temperature.

Clear Creek is (or was) $250 for a bull and $150 for a cow. How they get away calling it a trespass fee baffles me.

That's for cow elk only.

 

[beaglegun]

I believe the private that the elk were on was outfitted by SNS. I think that area is high dollar for cows. Not sure though. I was told not to get on Spratts land. Clear Creek are good people, just wasn't any elk when we were there but she told me that b4 I paid. I though we could find a few lost cows. Wrong again!
We watched a side by side drive up to the herd for about 2 miles and shoot, retrieve and drive back and the herd never moved!

 

[Nuklhed]

That's wild.
I just got back from there and once again, could've filled bull tags!!
I did find out that the main herd in the bighorns that comes to those units decided to towards Buffalo, instead of to this side. That's why it was so thin.

 

[Nuklhed]

Oh, and I did find a herd, but they were 3.5 miles away across private ground (not one of the ranches). It was either cross a creek of unimagineable depth, or walk 10 miles over several ridges just to get a shot.
There were about 75 cows, but they knew where to hang out, basically untouchable.

PS. you'll have to zoom in @beaglegun

@Dsnow9 would have been all over that.

Yep, that’s the truth! I’ve done it before and will again!
