Hunting Washington Forum

I’m more apt to say that’s a 300 pound black bear.

Unsure if this will work for you, but it seems there's a way to locate it.

If it's far away (GPS Location)
ZOLEO Track: Log in to your MyZOLEO account on the website and use the ZOLEO Track feature if you had location sharing enabled.

Don't really have any locations to give.
I'll give my best advice.
Pray for snow,pray for tracks and some kind of elk sign on public land.
I had a similar permit last year for the same hunt dates.
Had lots of non-hunting recreational activity,that would spook the elk off of public constantly.
Only one decent snow storm during that period for me last year.
Elk traditionaly herd up as December starts,work there way into the valleys on private.
Knocking on some doors with a 14 year old may work ,never know.

Good luck 🤞 👍

So why not just make it a branched antler deer 2 point or better simple answer. That way you are getting enough meat than shooting something larger that the neighbors dog.

Because the law says he doesn't have to and everyone has a different level of success, experience, and what they want out of their hunt.  If you want to use a 2 pt minimum for yourself, great, you do you.

If it's legal ,then eat it up.

A buck could be close but not visible
