Hey Team,
got some friends heading up to tennyson area next week to fish. thinking about tagging along and taking the rifle for a walk.
Worth it or not worth the effort and better off covering some ground i've already seen animals? still working on animal number one.
Definitely worth it, every day spent in hunting country is worth it. The more time you put in the greater the chance of success. I havent much experience around Lake Tennyson, but what little I have done was with very little knowldege and an open mind. I found both deer and chamois, some of them much closer than I anticipated. go for it, look forward to the trip report afterwards.
Western side along the tree lines.
What Trout said. SW side good to camp, don’t know if you’re still allowed to or not. Hunt western side up towards northern end and up towards headwaters. Reds and Chamois about. Good luck.
Up towards Princess Bath for chamois too
Walk down mailings pass at 1st light,hmmm probly been 300 trucks down there in the last couple of weeks.Day n night.
Duncans Stream off Seymor Stream seems to hold animals as does Sandy Stream, people seem to bypass it for some reason or at least used to. Same old storey though, deer are where you find them on the day.
Fella that used to work for us in culverden used to take his big flash boat up there every time he had a day off and float around drinking beers with his St Bernard dog and pretending to fish, he reckoned quite often in the evenings deer would appear on that big barren face on the east side of the lake.
I have seen plenty of chamois up in the three big basins at the north end of the lake
Spent several days in both Duncan and Sandy without seeing a thing apart from geese and hares. Did find old remains in sandy, I think they don't live in there but just transit through at times.
Theres a reason for that. Young males in jacked up 4wd's + firearms+ thermal+ instagram account=deerless wasteland.Quote:
