North beaver antlerless elk hunt Jan 2021

Tball · Jan 5, 2021

Hello everyone, I drew a north beaver antlerless elk tag fir this month. I was thinking the zone started down at south creek and I had hunted that area before but the unit boundary doesn’t reach that far south. So I’m looking for some help
From anyone that knows that area and where a good place to start hunting would be. Thanks in advance. Truitt

Those cow elk have been run all over that mountain since August 1st. With just a little snow. They have been up high. very tough to find this year.

Thank you. Appreciate the response. Guess I’ll look high or hope for weather.

Hey big John. What do you think of the area just south of the I 70.

We could give you internet advice or you could hit the unit and figure it out. Doubt you'll be back with the coordinates of where you kill, if you kill.

I have no problem with telling where I killed a late season cow elk. If I get help or not. I’ve hunted around beaver before. But it is not in the unit for this hunt. Just looking for some honest advice on a starting point. Thanks Truitt

In the hills back behind those close to the road spots. We have found small groups of bulls. We hunt the unit with family every year pretty much. It is usually a weekend hunt. Going out in a few hours. We will let you know what we see.

Don’t you love that? I’ve give several guys really good advice, even sent pins to a couple of them on where to go. I know they killed, some posted pics here, UWN, FB and Instagram, yet not a word mentioned of help. Or even bothered to let me know how it ended up.

I even seen a guy take a spot I told him about and then after he killed and posted a pic, proceeded to be a complete asshat to someone else asking where to go fill their tag, telling them to go do the hard work themselves ? still banned from that page and the “hunter” blocked my account over that deal!

I always try to help people out if I can.
I hunt alot in Colorado on public lands that I have found on my own that I’ve actually told residents where to hunt. That said. I do have a little honey hole that I’ve found that I’ve shot two 30” bucks that I do keep to myself. But as far as elk go I have no trouble giving info. If I have it. I’m 62 and I’m not really a trophy hunter anymore, except this coming year going one last time for the 200” buck.at my honey hole. I’m a meat hunter now That’s why I draw cow tags for Colorado and Utah plus California. when I can. Just trying to fill the freezer and if someone else needs to fill there I will try to help them. thanks. Truitt

Tball- Are you planning to hunt the N side of Beaver East or West?
A good number of elk from the East side close to I-15 North of Beaver will generally cross over to the West side from hunting pressure. The terrain is pretty open over there. Go up to the top of Gillies Hill & glass and you may spot a few small herds. There is private property near the edge of the highway, but it’s fenced & pretty easy to tell when you are on public ground.

Hey big Joh t. Was just wondering can we use out razor on those back roads ?

BIGJOHNT · Jan 9, 2021

Yes sorry to say you can drive pretty much everywhere. Cold and slick in the morning. Warm and muddy in the afternoon. The last day of our hunt was yesterday. We basically hunted from the center of Beaver north to I 70 Ana little east. Found 14 bulls and not one cow. We have hunted this area before, last year even. Usually a one weekend hunt. I would if I was still hunting. Go the the Marysville side or Circleville side. We where running and glasses all day. Some of the bulls where as close as 500 yards.

Thanks for the info. Sorry you didn’t find the cows. I’ll give those areas your talking about a try. I’ll give you a shout out when I get to hunting. I’ll let you no what’s going on. If I find them maybe you could break away for a couple days for a little hunt. I’ll be in touch. Thanks again for all of your help. You’ve been more than helpful. Truitt
