Which Would Be better for a BIG Bull?

[bobcat]

I have 5 points.

Only 5 points? OK, well ask this question again in 15 years.   

I've been pretty lucky so far. i got drawn 3 yrs in a row. with 3 points and under. one was for the Alklai Bull elk.

Must be an archery hunter then?

If so, then you actually do have a chance.

Either place has good bulls. The Blues are probably a tougher hunt due to the steep terrain, if that matters.

You could go on a road trip and check out both areas to see which you prefer. But I think you'll be happy with the size of the bulls in either one.

Good one Bobcat

I have 17 points and have been out scouting around to try and prepare for next year.

What is the terrain like in the Clockum? I have not made it in there yet.
Is the Clockum multiple GMUs? That is what I read in the regulations, so I am assuiming it is GMUs 328, 329, 335. Which is the most productive GMU of the 3?
Which is the best hunt to put in for? I hunt modern firearm. I see there is a late "any bull" hunt open in Dec through the end of the month. Must be a snow hunt.

Lastly...
Every year I look at the elk on the Handford property. Are there any GMUs, which those elk travel back and fourth into? Are they worth applying for?

If the Blues and the Clockum are top 2, which is number 3, 4, and 5 in your opinions.

Pomeroy I haven't seen that ! I wish

[KNOPHISH]

Sorry Kola, That bull is at the casino in Kamilche. I posted it to stir the Colockum pot. I don't know where is was taken. I have seen extra large elk in both areas so it's a toss up. Here is the Colockum bull my bro got.

[Woodchuck]

That bull is about average for the Colockum. Monster anywhere else.

I knew it was only a matter of time before you would show up on this one Woodchuck! I knew that bull in the pic above, I watched him run cows a time or two and he has plenty of kids running around to pass on his great genes. I know he was about as big as they got up there that year as well. If it was me with only 5 points, I would just put in for where ever area I felt I knew the best. Slim odds in drawinga tag, but you never know with the WA Draw system.

[Woodchuck]

  That is probably the best advice on here right there. Go with what ya know.

Let's be honest to the guy. No one will give you a straight answer because no one wants another guy putting in for what any of the guys in here are putting in for. Both the colockum and the blues have nice bulls. With 5 points its possible but chances are it'll be awhile. It took me 14 points for my blues tag this year. What you need to do is go scout both areas, see what you like. Personally is choose an area that is closer to you so that when you do get drawn it'll be a little easier on the wallet to drive over and scout a bunch. good luck buddy!

[rosscrazyelk]

There are big elk everywhere. You just need put in the work.

  Id venture to say if you put in the time and depending on what you consider "big" most of the yakima units would produce a few bulls I consider "big" and be much easier to draw. It will require a lot more ground work to find one then in the blues or the clok but there in there.
