Raymond Cow Tags....12 yr old Daughter

[PA BEN]

Put my 12 yr old daughter and I in for all kinds of partner draws and we drew cow elk tags for Raymond.

I hunted once down there and seemed like a lot of elk in the area. I won't have to take her out of school to hunt, we can hunt Christmas break. One thing about it this might be a better chance of not having to eat tag soup this year. Anybody know Elk Area 6010 I would like any and all help to get my daughter her first elk.

All private property. You'll definitely want to do some scouting down there before you go.

Get to know John Wildhaber a local dairy farmer. He has an elk problem and would most likely grant you access.

The one in red is the one we drew. I go and look in the reg.s to see how many permits and the elk seasons in this area before my hunt. When I put in I looked and there were no codes for these draws, IE; privet land access. Nothing there, so I think State, Fed. and lumber co. land. So, I look at the master hunter permits and this draw has codes by it, 2723 Raymond HC Any elk tag Yes Oct. 1 ‑ Mar. 31 Antlerless Elk Area 6010 5 65 / 7 The HC stands for "C Private lands; access is extremely limited. If you cannot secure access to private lands do not apply for these hunts." And the other is hunter orange. I know I have to work on scoutting anyway but now it looks like I'll be knocking on quite a few doors too.

Track down Willipawapiti, he lives in Raymond and has killed elk with his daughter on that hunt I believe... he may be willing to line you out.

PA-
 the HC for the master hunt means that it is a damage controlled hunt. Successful applicants will be contacted on an as need basis.

I don't think this applies to your hunt. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I guess there wasn't a coma between the HC, I just looked at the C and the H. I BAD

I want to thank all the guys for the help so far. I plan on camping down there this summer w/my family and doing some scouting. Anybody know how the salmon and steelhead fishing is down that way?

Both my father and I have been drawn for your hunt. The dairy farmer the other member posted will let you hunt. We took 2 cows off his property when we were drawn. The key is to get drawn for the Dec, Jan, or Feb hunts. The area gets alot of local hunting pressure in the farm lands. If you get a general season cow tag, your chances are poor unless your a local. It is a pull up and shoot tag if you get drawn for the later hunts. Your daughter should fill her tag within the first hour of daylight if you get access to hunt on the dairy farm the other member posted.

I lost the info and the pms that were posted here just a few days ago. Could who ever it was post the info back up? I knew I should have wrote it down but the server crashed and all was lost BTW, my spell check still does not work.

[PLUVIUSWAPITI]

PA BEN, I will pm you with Info.

For you guys that know the area. I have two ground blinds. With all the rain that time of year I was thinking of using them. Do the elk come out in the fields most every day like deer do? My daughter has made heads shots on deer out of ground blinds before. I've only hunted elk the back country way. This meat hunt will be fun for us. Thanks
