Eagle Cap Wilderness

[Jerry]

Is anyone going to hunt the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area this year?

[Joe Hulburt]

If I draw my Mt Goat tag! Otherwise probably not this year but my son and I did a little in 2009 and had a great trip. Since we can hunt with a bow during gun season now I am buying a western deer rifle tag and hunting the Blacktail rut with my bow for a change of pace.

If I don't draw anything out of state, will be going back. It is nice to see that country quite down after the big wave of people that flooded the area after Hanes made it popular. I have heard a few grumblings of wolves getting close to that area. Anyone hear the samething?

[Jerry]

The Imnaha unit is starting to see wolves in the area. From there east to the Idaho border.
We are still seeing a lot of touristy types hiking and backpacking during the summer. They stay pretty much to the main trails, but there is still plenty of back country that they don't get to.

Perfect. Some of my CA tree huggers are going to be up on the hill to help us hunters out by hauling meat to our trucks. There goes the Wilderness Area's.

Drew my Colorado mule deer tag so I wont be venturing in to the Caps. Wolves have moved into the area we hunt and its made it a little more difficult. Saw a wolf in there in 09 and heard them the year before. Might be time to search out a new area in there.

Or thin out the non native herd that is moving in.
