Does anyone have any feedback on the hunt from 2021? I live just over the border in Idaho and drew a returned tag as of yesterday. Will be scouting over the coming weekends.

I picked that tag up last year on the FCFS as well, freaky early winter weather, I wasn't able to hunt the first few days due to work commitments and getting that tag the day before season. I don't think my experience was typical due to the snow. The snow was knee deep on top of Copper. Hunted hard for 8 days, didn't see a ton of elk but found elk everyday, killed the biggest bull I found on day 8 burried in a little pocket of aspens in a cut of sage. Not a giant but respectable, probably 320-330 ish. Again, my expectations where rut hunt with a gun and it turned into what felt like a late season hunt in blowing snow like 6-7 of the 8 days I was there, I don't think that's typical, just how it shook out last year. Also keep in mind I'd never been to the unit so I was digging out the country as I went.

I was in there in last year for cow elk in Sept. Saw a few nice bulls. Had dustings of snow above 8000 feet and thought what the bull season would be like. Guess I was close in my thoughts based on arrowslinger10's actual experience.

Let me know if you'd like more intel.

Sounds like an adventure, any elk is a good elk in that environment!

Thanks, I will be camping near Jarbridge this weekend and plan to scout hard and drive out the Charleston-Jarbridge road. Might even loop over all the way to Mountain City just to get the total picture.

Last year I saw a huge bunch with some good bulls on the west side of Copper. Better take your hiking boots! We spotted them from the opposite side of the river.

Which area for the late hunt? I’ve hunted 061/071 about 10 times over the years for that late cow hunt.

Let me know if you need any information. Good places to camp, accommodations in Mountain City. Places I’ve seen elk in both zones. I’m not an expert but I’ve spent a ton of time out there.
