Indian River Elk

[charlie_horse]

So i was extremely lucky this year and drew the Indian Arm Rosie draw (2-08A) in my backyard. I thought that I would just put some feelers out for any lower mainlanders that might spend time up Indian Arm or who has had the draw in the past. I'm confident that with the amount of time I have free to scout I should have a good chance at connecting on a nice bull. But since its pretty much a once in a life time draw I thought i wouldn't leave any stone unturned to connect on a mature bull. I'll be setting up all my trail cams in the next couple weeks or if anyone is out and about and wants to do some scouting with me on sundays I'm usually by myself.

Cheers!

A friend had that draw a couple years ago. We were able to locate elk but missed on a couple opportunities in the thick timber. We could only get out a few times so we didn't connect but saw plenty of elk and tons of sign. We basically just drove the road a d found a few good places to hike in. Only saw them during the hikes never on the road.

Thought I'd bump this if anyone's doing any deer hunting up there. Cams are set bit there's so much damn traffic think they are gonna be in the thick thick thick.

When was the road opened? When I was still big into the 4x4 scene that road was deactivated. Curious what year it's been open. Cheers.

It was open last year all the way to the ocean and this year its got a washout where ive seen proper 4x4 units crawl over. The washout is in the waterfall areas.

You can cross that washout in a stock f150.
It's a piece of cake.

I've drove in from Squamish in a jeep. No problem. But I prefer boating up the inlet - it's always calm. Then walk in from the estuary. There's natives hunting there year round I believe so... not sure what you're going to expect in terms of game.

I saw big rubs a few kms up the road last time I was there.
