Crystal Creek report

[duck'n]

For all of you asking about Crystal Creek, it is a great place and Scooter provides you with a quality experience. Heck our guide ended up being someone there for the Noc it Up Challenge they talked into staying. Sam worked his rear end off to make sure we all were happy and saw what we were after. I can't say enough about the guides, both Sam and Scooter. I will post my report in the hunting reports section later but my buddy and I both had multiple oportunities on exotics including 2 out of the 3 target species we were after (blackbuck, aoudad, and axis). We both scored on aoudad. I really didn't want a ram but I saw some outstanding animals and they were very wily. Since I shot my exotic on the first day, I rode around with the guide the rest of the weekend looking for pigs. The pigs have defintately been hunted but I saw a bunch. I was hunting them with my longbow so I never quite closed the deal. All in all, it was a great experience. If you go, listen to the guides! There were some other hunters in camp that didn't and ended up with lack of shot opportunities and a lost ram. Anyway, if you have any particular questions let me know. Good luck if you go.

Sweet man glad you had a good trip. I am headed there for six day in April. Looking for a good axis buck and a turkey.

[IDAHO_BOWMEN]

Duckn what pasture did you guys hunt.

[duck'n]

I saw a crapload of turkeys and the axis that were in velvet should shed by then. We hunted the pasture behind the lodge/lake, on the same side of the road. That pasture has the creek running through it and ought to provide the most opportunities for corn buzzards. I must have seen a hundred or more hens. The only two toms I saw were BIG and they were starting to act "strutty". Good luck, you should have a large time.

The next month is going to drag on for me now. I cant wait to go. I have a 26 hour drive but it will be worth it.

Dang I thought mine was bad and it was only 6 hours! Let me know how you do out there and what you think. I am new to this day lease hunting thing but have been impressed by both the operations I have been to thus far.
