I have been up there a few times on I5, but I have never ventured off deep in the GMU. Looked pretty steep from the main hwy. How open is it to the public? Any pics of some big bulls you can post? Get us excited!

FYI Blues are STEEP too!! I saw a couple real bruisers this year with a spike tag in my pocket.

Yes...I have hunted deer there for over 25 years. It can be a real dangerous in there. I suggest hiring Dave at Western Outfitters for an trophy bull hunt. I won't hunt elk there to shoot a spike. I have always hunted the westside for elk, but considering the number of points I have.........I GOING EAST!!!

The reallty is the blues have more big bulls , but the country is steep and deep . there's some good bulls in the cloc , teannaway and peaches , chuck bumping in for fun. the central units can produce bulls in the 370-380 range with some hard work and sure there's a couple that push 400 but i've yet to see them . So it really depends how far one wants to travell and how good of shape your in . I'm gonna play a ace this year and hope for a draw .

The herd west of Birdsview had a monster bull in it this year, plus the one just east of Sedro Wolley had a nice one as well.

Here is one from the Clock that KNOPISH posted. 400+

Those are reproduction antlers.  I know the taxidermist in Shelton who made them and did the mount.  He is a horrible taxidermist by the way.

all the bulls in that unit are now spikes

I hope your not expecting to draw just because you have 17 points, I quit expecting a few years ago and I also have 17 points now.  If you have have never killed a bull you should do yourself a favor and put in for the rifle 300 units, your odds of drawing are much better and there are a few guys on here that will help with your hunt. You only get 2 choices for quality elk, I would do what someone already suggested on here, put in for a tough draw like the blues then put in for one of the 300 units for your second choice. Good luck on what ever you do, and don't count on anything when it comes to drawing in this state. When I had 15 points I applied for a quality hunt that had 3 permits, the three tags went to guys with 6, 4, and 2 points. It could be another 5 years before we draw or more.

Or you could split your points with someone who has a history of being real lucky in the draws and go hunting! nwhunter
