Hey Neckshot,
Have you done any scouting trips yet? I've been out a few times, starting to find some elk sign, but not enought to get excited about yet. I'm hoping to make a trip up to Happy Camp in a few weeks to check out some of the Marble Mtn wilderness areas...

Neckshot,

Congrats on your lucky draw. Where are you from and what are your plans. I know of Three herds in the Marbles and have extensive info on the Trinity herd, which is also located in the Marbles. Depending on your tracking ability along with the number of people your bringing to pack out your Elk, I can put you on Elk GUARANTEED. My only real concern is that your a hunter that is truly passionate about the hunt and not going to cripple a animal only to give up and look for another. Last year my brother and I were closing in on a 6x6 only to have two cops from Napa take a 1200 yard shot and miss by 8'. (my dad has the picture he took form 180 yards away showing the bullet missing as well as the bull. He settled for a 80yd shot on a big spike a week later. Two years earlier my dad took a 6x5 off the same ridge. I have put in for 12 years and am still waiting like many of us, however I would hope that if I had the opportunity to take a true california trophy that someone would be considerate and help me. Shoot me your email and I will

Hey SuperiorStructures! Your dad wouldn't happen to be John would he? If so, I met him a few years back in X3A... he calls me from time to time to see how things are going and what the hunt plans are... If your dad is John from Santa Rosa, tell him Ken from Redding says hi! He told me the story about the two Napa cops... I also helped him out a few years back on his Likely Tables hunt! I drew the Marble Mtn muzzleloader elk tag this year, and have been meaning to call your dad to pick his brain!

I'll try to write you more later, but I'm heading up the hill now to go check out some elk in Trinity County this evening...

You're Michael right? I actually found some emails that I sent you to give to your dad when he drew... I sent some maps for you to give to John... Small world! I'll probably be heading up to your guy's spot to do some scouting one of these weekends... I'll be chasing elk with my muzzleloader in Colorado for a few weeks, but I'll probably make it up north during B zone rifle to check things out. The muzzleloader hunt is Oct. 27th - Nov. 4th, so I'm not sure if the elk will be up where you guys normally run into them... but I'm sure they won't be far...

Hey Ken, WOW what a small world. I just joined this site looking for info on A17 archery hunt, i bought a leftover tag and am going next week. What a great resource for hunters. My dad was up there in July and saw 23 Elk along with 4 Bear and a few small Deer. Don't waste your time looking around, we will put you on them for sure. I have your email and will send you a topo from Google earth showing you where to go. Do me a favor and keep it to yourself, as enough people already know about it. If you talked to my dad you know how many monster bulls we saw up there last year and I am hoping the monster my brother couldn't shoot makes it another season ( hoping I get drawn). John also found another herd that we new nothing about until last year when he stumbled upon them. My younger brother got drawn for X3A this year and they are going up for the opener. Give him a call and he will dial you in. If he's ever told you where we hunt then you'll know exactly where to go. I'll send you an email in the next day or so. All the best and good luck
