2013 Elk hunting plans
« on: February 05, 2013, 07:34:19 AM »
What's everyone's plan for this year?

I most likely will be hunting elk around home.  My buddy Jason Stafford is coming out from Wyoming to hopefully check a Roosevelt off of his bucket list (Its going to be tough for him to go from killing 350+ bulls to hoping we find a good 5x5). 

Then head to Montana the last week or two of September.

Crossing my fingers for a multiseason to allow me to put in for some good units.

I'm lucky enough be invited along with some established elk hunters and will part of their camp. My goal is to watch, help, learn, and if offered a shot on a legal elk to make it count. Thats about it.

Solo archery hunting somewhere.  Not sure yet of where.  Always looking for someone to hunt with and camp with if anyone is interested.

Been planin this year hunt since we left last year! Gots the new Phelps elk from Fred in Virgina to call a bull in for the wifee! If shes lucky to get a bull ill dance a little jig in the Idaho mud. If we still have time left in the hunt and the elk are fired up ill go to town grab a tag and see if we can get a double header! Thats alot to accomplish in two weeks but with lots of planning it can be done! And lots of training! Good luck to all! :tup:

Hoping for a multiseason permit to up my odds of filling the freezer. Burned my cow and quality bull points in the last two years, not likely to draw this year. Maybe help a buddy who draws this year?

To help my 13 year old daughter get her first Roosie bull with a muzzleloader!  I don't care if I get another elk or not, it is all about her from here on out!

Will be hunting opening week of archery here in WA and then last 10 days of Archery elk season in Oregon.  Already have Eagle Cap wilderness drop camp booked since last year!  Also, like everyone else, hoping for a multi-tag here in WA.

Same plan as usual.  Scout and hunt hard over on the OP and find something with 3 points or more.  Been fairly successful over the years there.  We don't find any wall hangers over there where we are at, but those bulls do go in the freezer just fine.
