West Mountain is no secret by any means. Just thought I would just try to give you some direction. If you decide not to use it, you're welcome for me taking pressure away from other portions of the area. Lots of country in the McCall area. Biggest advice I can give is get off the roads.
To start I hope it goes better than it did for me. I won’t be going back to this zone. We hunted the south fork of the salmon with no luck so we moved up by new meadows I had hunted that area years ago that didn’t go well then went and checked out west mountain and that wasn’t good for us. We had pretty warm weather this year and that didn’t help. The issue with the west mountain and new meadows area is a few years ago a company bought up allot of land that use to be accessible. It’s not allowed anymore. I do have mules so we got off the road if that’s what’s your thinking but it was not a good hunt for us. Sorry no tips beyond where it didn’t go good for us. In the two weeks I was in the area I seen one bull killed out of all the camps we seen in the areas we looked at.
Onxmaps. There's some help.
thank you for the tip...we plan to get off the trail and stay in the mountains, just hope we see some Elk.
yes sir, for sure off the roads...even thinking of base camp somewhere in the mountains after we find Elk. Lots of work but could pay off.
Be sure to specify the unit number and list all trails and FS road numbers so people can search these forums and find your spot when you kill a killer 6 pt and share it with us all here on this searchable forum.
OnX maps for sure...got the app and doing some research. Nice! I'm up for offering ransom for zone advice!
Biggest concentration of elk are gonna be on the Wilks Brothers place. Try and get touch with them. Really well loved in that part of the state
‘Tis the season. Always a bunch of these posts right after draw results come out or gen tags go on sale...
Way before the Wilkes bro’s. Bought the timber company land and posted it. But go there, lots of elk.
