Does anyone go up Scotty creek fsr anymore?

[Huntingtyler123]

Simple question. If you had to choose for this current year for black bear. Scotty creek fsr or big bar/ jesmond area

and go

[RyoTHC]

Scotty

sounds cooler

[wingmaster]

Pretty sure every one from the 604 goes up Scotty, few leave the road though

Used to go up Scottie all the time, and have had good success especially when the snow began to fly. Hadn't gone in a few years, but checked it out last year on the way back from Clinton area. Was still as crowded as I remember, but was surprised by how nasty the side roads were. I suspect after last year's rains it will be worse this year.

Before you turn off to go into LOON lake theres a ( a few miles south of the loon lk rd) RH turn off the highway - Scottie Creek ! RJ

As RJ says just a cpl kilometers before the LL turnoff, east side of the hiway, busy place, roads are the shits even worse after a rainfall, like loon, burnt to a crisp in there, used to be ok hunting but like loon so busy they need traffic lights.

GREAT place for ALL the LML folks to go HUNT ! :mrgreen: RJ

It was up Scotty Creek that I saw the nicest camp set up I have ever seen. Travel trailers and fifth wheels circled around a big teepee. They used clear poly for the covering. Into it they had a keg of beer piped. There use to have a large amethyst deposit beside the road. They have since straightened road and you have to hunt through the ruble for pieces.

I like amethyst I would love to find some ! I need to take a drive up there then !

Too many go up there.
R5 closed for 10 days it becomes a real gong show.
The any buck season gets too much attention now as well.
Really tough to find a big boy now up there.
Most bucks probably don’t make it past 3.5 yr of age.
Lots of folks having more success around 70 mile.
And then there is R5 after the 20th for sure.

Thanks for sharing the information ! I’m trying to put a few hunts together will be posting up some ideas .

Fully understand.
Living down in the LM makes weekends hard to travel any sort of decent range.

As you come in from the west, there is a field on the left, the road went around a rock outcrop corner . It gone now. They had chipped quite a hollow there, dangerous in fact. Ruble was just ahead of there when we were last up there rockhounding. It poor quality, it fades in the sunlight. There is a fair bit of common opal in that country as well.

Scottie is a freaking HWY in October. Hiked way up on a ridge and stayed till dark. The amount of vehicles driving that road at last light was comical. That being said there are plenty of deer in there if you know where to look.

Hell of a day
just moved to Clinton this summer. Second time exploring Clinton area. I went big bar-jesmond- Kelly lake circle this morning for the first time. I won’t be going back unless for grouse. Lots of people and lots of private property. Most grouse where smart and took off at first sight. I found a group that just sat there- picked off 4 grouse.
now it’s about 12pm
and I don’t want to go home yet so I drive down the hill to Scottie creek. Head up here for the first time too. Lots of fire damage and I only seen one other truck. I went 20 clicks in and decided to turn around. Came back down and went low over a single lane bridge and back up for maybe 3 clicks.
coming up this switch back area up on the hill I see a black bear just walking along diagonally away from me. I get out and walk up, no rest and shoot for the anchor
Nailed him, doesn’t go far and expires.
just skinned him out and soaking in the views at the end of Scottie road overlooking the highway back towards cache creek

was a great day :)
Small 5 footer boar

next adventure, I’ll be going to the usual spring bear area for some fun for the first time in the fall

[Huntingtyler123]

On the way out seen two doe mule deer with fawn

Good day you had !
